singlehead: making config item a bool again

with the use of `configsuboptions`, the main config item has become
a string (unless it's just the default value).

This makes it in particular hard to override in a cascade of HGRC files,
as we do in Heptapod to re-allow multiple heads on specific repositories
while the default behaviour is to forbid them. The added test case reflects
that use-case

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.
