check-config: syntax to allow inconsistent config values

The ignore regular expression has been updated to detect
"inconsistent config." If present, we track which configs have
that set and we suppress the conflicting defaults error for those
options.

I also added named groups to the regexp to aid readability.

A comment was added to profiling.py to make a desired inconsistent
value error go away.

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

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.
