hg rawcommit: fix files arg conflict

I try to sync with tip again. I found out the raw commit is broken for me
because the keyword "files" is list as named argument as well so it will
not show up in the rc dictionary. Here is my quick fix to make it work
with my script again.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -t "text"
  for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates

- set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output

  turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
