help: document color/pager pitfalls on Windows

Even though I figured this out a few weeks ago, I was initially puzzled where
the color went when I upgraded to 4.2 on a different Windows machine.  Let's
point users reading the help into the right direction.

I wonder if we should be even more explicit about cmd.exe/MSYS/pager/color

# showstack.py - extension to dump a Python stack trace on signal
#
# binds to both SIGQUIT (Ctrl-\) and SIGINFO (Ctrl-T on BSDs)

from __future__ import absolute_import
import signal
import sys
import traceback

def sigshow(*args):
    sys.stderr.write("\n")
    traceback.print_stack(args[1], limit=10, file=sys.stderr)
    sys.stderr.write("----\n")

def extsetup(ui):
    signal.signal(signal.SIGQUIT, sigshow)
    try:
        signal.signal(signal.SIGINFO, sigshow)
    except AttributeError:
        pass
