subrepo: use sharepath if available when locating the source repo
This is an alternative fix for issue3518, enabling sharing of repositories with
subrepos, without unconditionally setting the default path in the resulting
repo's hgrc file. Better test coverage is added here, but won't prove this code
is working until fd903f89e42b is backed out.
The problem with the original fix is, if a default path is not available to be
copied over from the share source, the default path on the resulting repo is set
to the source location. Since that's where the actual repository is stored, the
path is essentially self-referential, so push, pull, incoming and outgoing
effectively operate on itself. While incoming and outgoing make it look like
nothing was changed, push currently hangs (see issue3657). In this case where
there is not a real default path, these operations should abort with
"default(-push) not found", like the source repo would. Note this problem with
the original fix affected repos without subrepos too.

Values in ``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration. See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these files. ``.hgignore`` This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. For details, see |hgignore(5)|_. ``.hgsub`` This file defines the locations of all subrepositories, and tells where the subrepository checkouts came from. For details, see :hg:`help subrepos`. ``.hgsubstate`` This file is where Mercurial stores all nested repository states. *NB: This file should not be edited manually.* ``.hgtags`` This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8. ``.hg/last-message.txt`` This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message in case the commit fails. ``.hg/localtags`` This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is encoded using the local system encoding. Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``, if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial, it will be overwritten.
