help: add a mechanism to change flags' help depending on config

It seems reasonable to have a similar mechanism for the rest of the
help, but no such thing is implemented.

The goal is to make the help of commands clearer in the presence of
significant default changes, like tweakdefaults or with company-wide
hgrcs. In these cases, a user looking at the help of a command doesn't
exactly know what his hgrc is doing.

Apply to this to the --git option of commands that display diffs, as
this option in particular causes confusion for some reason.

Testing that convert.hg.preserve-hash=true can be used to make hg
convert from hg repo to hg repo preserve hashes, even if the
computation of the files list in commits change slightly between hg
versions.

  $ cat <<'EOF' >> "$HGRCPATH"
  > [extensions]
  > convert =
  > EOF
  $ cat <<'EOF' > changefileslist.py
  > from mercurial import (changelog, extensions)
  > def wrap(orig, clog, manifest, files, *args, **kwargs):
  >   return orig(clog, manifest, [b"a"], *args, **kwargs)
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >   extensions.wrapfunction(changelog.changelog, 'add', wrap)
  > EOF

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo a > a; hg commit -qAm a
  $ echo b > a; hg commit -qAm b
  $ hg up -qr 0; echo c > c; hg commit -qAm c
  $ hg merge -qr 1
  $ hg commit -m_ --config extensions.x=../changefileslist.py
  $ hg log -r . -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  c085bbe93d59 ["a"]

Now that we have a commit with a files list that's not what the
current hg version would create, check that convert either fixes it or
keeps it depending on config:

  $ hg convert -q . ../convert
  $ hg --cwd ../convert log -r tip -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  b7c4d4bbacd3 []
  $ rm -rf ../convert

  $ hg convert -q . ../convert --config convert.hg.preserve-hash=true
  $ hg --cwd ../convert log -r tip -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  c085bbe93d59 ["a"]
  $ rm -rf ../convert
