ui: disable revsetaliases in plain mode (BC)

ui.plain() is supposed to disable config options that change the UI to the
detriment of scripts. As the test demonstrates, revset aliases can actually
override builtin ones, just like command aliases. Therefore I believe this is a
bugfix and appropriate for stable.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
