help: clarify that the Windows registry key for hgrc files is systemwide
Since there's no version or path info here to distinguish between installations,
it is effectively systemwide (unless splitting hairs about the WoW64 registry
redirection).

windows: add a global equivalent to /etc/mercurial for *.rc processing
This follows the Unix model of processing this directory immediately after
<internal>/*.rc, and prior to the installation relative files. Since the Unix
processing supports both a directory and a file (the former overriding the
latter), and since %HOME% supports both `*.ini` and `.hgrc` (again, the former
overriding the latter), this does too. The Unix file doesn't have a `.` prefix,
so it's not used here either.
Note that this is the opposite order of processing the exe relative paths. But
since it's in agreement with Unix, %HOME% and %USERPROFILE%, it seems reasonable
to ignore that. Maybe we can change that and take a BC, because that's
something the installer should be controlling, and I can't imagine people having
both paths *and* conflicting settings.
