config: have a way to backup and restore value in config

This is introduce to allow temporary overwriting of a config value while being
able to reinstall the old value once done. The main advantage over using
``config`` and ``setconfig`` is that backup and restore will properly restore
the lack of any config. Restoring the fact that there was no value is important
to allow config user to keep using meaniful default value.

A more naive approach will result in the following scenario::

  Before:
    config(section, item, my_default) --> my_default

  temporal overwrite
    old = config(section, item)
    …
    setconfig(section, item, old)

  After
    config(section, item, my_default) --> None

The first user of this feature should be mq to overwriting minimal phase of
future commit.

'''browse command output with an external pager

To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::

  [pager]
  pager = less -FRSX

If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment variable
$PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, no pager is used.

If you notice "BROKEN PIPE" error messages, you can disable them by
setting::

  [pager]
  quiet = True

You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::

  [pager]
  ignore = version, help, update

You can also enable the pager only for certain commands using
pager.attend. Below is the default list of commands to be paged::

  [pager]
  attend = annotate, cat, diff, export, glog, log, qdiff

Setting pager.attend to an empty value will cause all commands to be
paged.

If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.

To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.

The --pager=... option can also be used to control when the pager is
used. Use a boolean value like yes, no, on, off, or use auto for
normal behavior.
