packaging: modify rc detection to work with X.Yrc instead of X.Y-rc rc detection on CentOS failed without this change, resulting in upgrades from 4.9rc to 4.9 not working (4.9rc was considered more recent than 4.9). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5876

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.
