show: config option to register aliases for views

As part of using `hg show` in my daily workflow, I've found it slightly
annoying to have to type full view names, complete with a space. I've
locally registered an alias for "swork = show work."

I think others will have this same complaint and could benefit from
some automation to streamline the creation of aliases. So, this
commit introduces a config option that allows `hg show` views to be
automatically aliased using a given prefix. e.g. a value of "s"
will automatically register "swork" and "sbookmarks." Multiple
values can be given for ultimate flexibility. This arguably isn't
needed now. But since we don't register aliases if there will be
a collision and we're bound to have a collision, it makes sense to
allow multiple prefixes so specific views can avoid collisions by
using different prefixes.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
