Add hgrc support for specification of extension directories
This patch introduces a new section [extpaths] in hgrc that can be
used to specify additional directories from which extension modules
should be loaded. The mechanism is needed for third party packagers of
extensions to install them in a sensible way. It solves the problem of
(e.g.) forest, which initially needed to be packaged separately but
will probably be incorporated into core. The problem is that when it
is incorporated, any existing third-party packaging of the same
extension will have the wrong effect. By packaging it in a directory
of its own, the [extpaths] section can be used to search the
packager-specified directory AFTER hgext is checked.
