resourceutil: don't limit resources to the `mercurial` package

This should make things a little clearer, in that it now requires the full
package name to access a resource.  But the real motivation is that
`extensions._disabledpaths()` walks the `hgext` directory looking for bundled
extensions.  This in turn feeds, among other things:

    1) Listing disabled extensions in `hg help extensions`
    2) Indicating that an unknown command is in a non-enabled extension
    3) Displaying help for non-enabled extensions
    4) Generating documentation
    5) Announcing LFS is auto-enabled (or not) when cloning from an LFS source

The filesystem based ResourceReader will happily return *.py and *.pyc, but the
one supplied by PyOxidizer doesn't.  Presumably we can change that.  The only
other idea I had here is for setup.py to generate a text file containing the
list of extensions, but that doesn't seem great when running from source.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
