check-code: warn to use killdaemons instead of kill `cat PIDFILE`

We have a bunch of tests that still use

    kill `cat hg.pid`

or worse,

    kill `cat hg.pid`; while kill -0 `cat hg.pid`; sleep 0; done

Cleaning these up to use tests/killdaemons.py is non-trivial, so for now
we just add a warning.

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 http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
