rhg: Remove `rhg.fallback-executable=hg` default configuration

When `rhg.on-unsupported` is configured to `fallback` and an unsupported
feature is encountered, the previous default was to look for an `hg`
executable in `$PATH`.

This default was fragile since it was easy to end up accidentally using
an older version of Mercurial installed system-wide,
when a local (perhaps patched) installation was intended.

Instead, it is now an error to have `rhg.on-unsupported=fallback`
without also configuring an explicit path or the fallback executable.

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.
