aggressivemergedelta: document rename and move to `revlog` section
The config does not follow our naming guideline and "Aggressive" is probably a
word to keep away from users.
The option does not truly fit in the `format` section. It can be turned on and
off for existing repository without much consequence regarding compatibility.
A new `revlog` option is created to control behavior related to revlog writing
and reading. We can see multiple other config options that could be migrated
there.
* format.maxchainlen
* experimental.mmapindexthreshold
* experimental.sparse-read.density-threshold (in an updated form)
* experimental.sparse-read.min-gap-size (in an updated form)
In addition, we can foresee at least a couple of sparse-revlog related option
coming too (to reduce delta chain length and increase snapshot reuse)
These two extra options might fit there too. Unless we want to create a
section dedicated to caches and performance.
* format.chunkcachesize
* format.manifestcachesize
For now, we only migrate `optimize-delta-parent-choice` since it is getting
out of experimental. It is too close to the release to move the other one. In
addition, we still lack proper the prioritization of alias that would help
renaming them without bad consequence for users.
(Not fully happy about the `revlog` name but could not find better).

Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant. To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:: [pager] pager = less -FRX If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows. .. container:: windows On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color. MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure the color mode when invoking a pager. You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the pager.ignore list:: [pager] ignore = version, help, update To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have to specify them in your user configuration file. To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command, you can use --pager=<value>: - use as needed: `auto`. - require the pager: `yes` or `on`. - suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value will also work). To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set:: [ui] paginate = never which will prevent the pager from running.
