filemerge: put temporary files in single temp dir by default The feature introduced in D2888 seems like a pure improvement to me. It makes the names' of temporary file easier to read. Let's have it always enabled. I also removed the config option for the path prefix because it doesn't seem useful. I asked Kyle (the author of the feature) about it and he couldn't think of a reason to keep it. I suspect it was just that we to have a config to turn it on/off while it was experimental, so it might as well be a configurable prefix then.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
