show: config option to register aliases for views
As part of using `hg show` in my daily workflow, I've found it slightly
annoying to have to type full view names, complete with a space. I've
locally registered an alias for "swork = show work."
I think others will have this same complaint and could benefit from
some automation to streamline the creation of aliases. So, this
commit introduces a config option that allows `hg show` views to be
automatically aliased using a given prefix. e.g. a value of "s"
will automatically register "swork" and "sbookmarks." Multiple
values can be given for ultimate flexibility. This arguably isn't
needed now. But since we don't register aliases if there will be
a collision and we're bound to have a collision, it makes sense to
allow multiple prefixes so specific views can avoid collisions by
using different prefixes.
