D10189: rhg: Remove `rhg.fallback-executable=hg` default configuration

REVISION SUMMARY
  When `rhg.on-unsupported` is configured to `fallback` and an unsupported
  feature is encountered, the previous default was to look for an `hg`
  executable in `$PATH`.
  
  This default was fragile since it was easy to end up accidentally using
  an older version of Mercurial installed system-wide,
  when a local (perhaps patched) installation was intended.
  
  Instead, it is now an error to have `rhg.on-unsupported=fallback`
  without also configuring an explicit path or the fallback executable.

REPOSITORY
  rHG Mercurial
