keyword: improve help for kwfiles

- just use "files" instead of "filenames" (analogous to "hg status -h")
- reference the extension help wrt pattern configuration

Kudos to timeless for helpful suggestions.

'''browse command output with an external pager

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

  [pager]
  pager = LESS='FSRX' less

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:

  [pager]
  attend = log

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 the global .hgrc
