debugignore: catch the case when ignore.includepat doesn't exist

In testing of my recent addition of a debugignore command, some of my MacHg
users uncovered the exceptional case that if there is no ignore patterns of any
kind then a traceback occurred. Catch and fix this case.

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
