help: show help for disabled extensions (issue5228)

This patch does not exactly solve issue5228 but it results in a better
condition on this issue. For disabled extensions, we used to parse the
module and get the first occurrences of docstring and then return the first
line of that as an introductory heading of extension. This is what we get
today.

This patch returns the whole docstring of the module as a help for extension,
which is more informative. There are some modules which don't have much
docstring at top level except the heading so those are unaffected by this
change. To follow the existing trend of showing commands either we have to
load the extension or have a very ugly parsing method which don't even assure
correctness.

   $ hg help patchbomb
   patchbomb extension - command to send changesets as (a series of) patch emails
   
+  The series is started off with a "[PATCH 0 of N]" introduction, which
+  describes the series as a whole.
+  
+  Each patch email has a Subject line of "[PATCH M of N] ...", using the first
+  line of the changeset description as the subject text. The message contains
+  two or three body parts:
+  
+  - The changeset description.
+  - [Optional] The result of running diffstat on the patch.
+  - The patch itself, as generated by 'hg export'.
+  
+  Each message refers to the first in the series using the In-Reply-To and
+  References headers, so they will show up as a sequence in threaded mail and
+  news readers, and in mail archives.
+  
+  To configure other defaults, add a section like this to your configuration
+  file:
+  
+    [email]
+    from = My Name <my@email>
+    to = recipient1, recipient2, ...
+    cc = cc1, cc2, ...
+    bcc = bcc1, bcc2, ...
+    reply-to = address1, address2, ...
+  
+  Use "[patchbomb]" as configuration section name if you need to override global
+  "[email]" address settings.
+  
+  Then you can use the 'hg email' command to mail a series of changesets as a
+  patchbomb.
+  
+  You can also either configure the method option in the email section to be a
+  sendmail compatible mailer or fill out the [smtp] section so that the
+  patchbomb extension can automatically send patchbombs directly from the
+  commandline. See the [email] and [smtp] sections in hgrc(5) for details.
+  
+  By default, 'hg email' will prompt for a "To" or "CC" header if you do not
+  supply one via configuration or the command line.  You can override this to
+  never prompt by configuring an empty value:
+  
+    [email]
+    cc =
+  
+  You can control the default inclusion of an introduction message with the
+  "patchbomb.intro" configuration option. The configuration is always
+  overwritten by command line flags like --intro and --desc:
+  
+    [patchbomb]
+    intro=auto   # include introduction message if more than 1 patch (default)
+    intro=never  # never include an introduction message
+    intro=always # always include an introduction message
+  
+  You can set patchbomb to always ask for confirmation by setting
+  "patchbomb.confirm" to true.
