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.

Test attempting a narrow clone against a server that doesn't support narrowhg.
$ . "$TESTDIR/narrow-library.sh"
$ hg init master
$ cd master
$ for x in `$TESTDIR/seq.py 10`; do
> echo $x > "f$x"
> hg add "f$x"
> hg commit -m "Add $x"
> done
$ hg serve -a localhost -p $HGPORT1 --config extensions.narrow=! -d \
> --pid-file=hg.pid
$ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"
$ hg serve -a localhost -p $HGPORT2 -d --pid-file=hg.pid
$ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"
Verify that narrow is advertised in the bundle2 capabilities:
$ cat >> unquote.py <<EOF
> from __future__ import print_function
> import sys
> if sys.version[0] == '3':
> import urllib.parse as up
> unquote = up.unquote_plus
> else:
> import urllib
> unquote = urllib.unquote_plus
> print(unquote(list(sys.stdin)[1]))
> EOF
$ echo hello | hg -R . serve --stdio | \
> "$PYTHON" unquote.py | tr ' ' '\n' | grep narrow
exp-narrow-1
$ cd ..
$ hg clone --narrow --include f1 http://localhost:$HGPORT1/ narrowclone

abort: server does not support narrow clones

Make a narrow clone (via HGPORT2), then try to narrow and widen
into it (from HGPORT1) to prove that narrowing is fine and widening fails
gracefully:
$ hg clone -r 0 --narrow --include f1 http://localhost:$HGPORT2/ narrowclone
