gnu: mercurial: Patch to make it read HGEXTENSIONPATH.

This will make Mercurial be able to find third-party extensions installed with
Guix, without having to set PYTHONPATH.

* gnu/packages/patches/mercurial-hg-extension-path.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register the patch.
* gnu/packages/version-control.scm (mercurial)[origin](patches): Apply the
patch.
[native-search-paths]: Add HGEXTENSIONPATH.

+This is needed to make Mercurial read the HGEXTENSIONPATH to detect
+third-party extensions.  It is called HGEXTENSIONPATH and not
+HG_EXTENSION_PATH to keep it consistent with other environment variables for
+Mercurial, e.g. HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS, HGEDITOR ...  Hopefully I or someone else
+will get this into Mercurial proper.
