check-commit: allow foo_bar naming in functions nameswithallthewordssmashedtogetherarehardtoread. especiallyifenglishisnotyourprimarylanguage. Let's align with the rest of the programming universe and allow_the_use_of_underscores_in_names. We took a hand poll at the 5.2 sprint regarding this change and all but 1 person supported it. The person who didn't expressed concerns around excessive API breakage if we mass renamed things. But we're not planning to mass rename things for the sake of renaming, so all should be well.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
