share: backout fd903f89e42b, except the test

Locating the share source when no default path is available is now handled in
subrepo._abssource(), so unconditionally setting a default path (and the
associated problems) can be avoided.

The test change reflects the fact that a default path is no longer set on the
resulting share.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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