share: reload repo after adjusting it in postshare()

When sharing a repo that's using remotefilelog, the update that happens
at the end of the `hg share` call does not see the remote repo path
that's copied in hg.postshare(). This patch reloads the repo after
hg.postshare() to address that.

This changes a subrepo test case. Note that `hg share -U; hg co tip`
worked there before, so I don't see see why `hg share` should fail. I
also don't know what a "locally referenced subrepo". So maybe this is
fixing a bug? Hopefully it's not breaking something someone actually
cares about at least. Maybe someone who knows and cares about subrepos
can review this.

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.

To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::

  [extensions]
  foo =

You may also specify the full path to an extension::

  [extensions]
  myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.

Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.

To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::

  [extensions]
  # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
  bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
  # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
  baz = !
