hg: show the correct message when cloning an LFS repo with extension disabled

The `extensions._disabledpaths()` doesn't handle fetching help from `__index__`,
so it returns an empty dictionary of paths.  That means None is always returned
from `extensions.disabled_help()` when embedding resources inside the pyoxidizer
or py2exe binary, regardless of the arg or if is an external extension stored in
the filesystem.  And that means wrongly telling the user with an explicitly
disabled LFS extension that it will be enabled locally upon cloning from an LFS
remote.  That causes test-lfs-serve.t:295 to fail.

This effectively reverts most of the rest of 843418dc0b1b, while keeping the
help text change in place (which was specifically identified as a problem).

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 https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
