config: introduce "built-in" default configuration settings in default.d
This helps providing a more consistent user experience on all platforms and
with all packaging.
The exact location of default.d depends on how Mercurial is installed and
whether it is 'frozen'. The exact location should never be relevant to users
and is intentionally not explained in details in the documentation. It will
however always be next to the help and templates files.
Note that setting HGRCPATH also disables these defaults. I don't know if that
should be considered a bug or a feature.
contrib: update build defaults to latest Python and docutils versions
Use Python 2.7.8 and Docutils 0.12 for Makefile.python and buildrpm (CentOS 5
rpms).
extdiff: quote user-supplied options passed to shell
$ hg extdiff -p cmd -o "name <user@example.com>"
resulted in a shell redirection error (due to the less-than sign),
rather than passing the single option to cmd. This was due to options
not being quoted for passing to the shell, via util.system(). Apply
util.shellquote() to each of the user-specified options (-o) to the
comparison program before they are concatenated and passed to
util.system(). The requested external diff command (-p) and the
files/directories being compared are already quoted correctly.
The discussion at the time of changeset
be98c5ce4022 correctly noted
that this course of action breaks whitespace-separated options specified
for external diff commands in the configuration. The lower part of the
patch corrects this by lexing options read from the configuration file
into separate options rather than reading them all into the first
option.
Update test to cover these conditions.

tests: have dumbhttp.py use cmdutil.service() to wait for child to listen()
Because the original dumbhttp.py exited without waiting for listen(), several
tests could fail with "abort: error: Connection refused" if subsequent hg
command is fast enough.
