config: add `--shared` flag to edit config file of shared source

With `format.exp-share-safe` enabled, we now read the `.hg/hgrc` of the shared
source also.
This patch adds `--shared` flag to `hg config` command which can be used to edit
that shared source config file. It only works if the repository is shared one
and is shared using the safe method.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
