scm-sync-configuration-plugin Added Mercurial (HG) support

Thanks for creating this plugin. Its very useful. Where I am currently working we use Mercurial repositories and I saw your plugin doesn't support it yet. I made some changes to it and it now works with Mercurial. Feel free to accept the changes if you are happy with them.

Things to note:

I couldn't figure out how to initialise a HG repo like "git init --bare" . It seems I had to commit a file for the repo to be valid for the tests (hg locate would fail otherwise). Let me know if you know a better way!
Due to the behaviour above, in a couple of tests I have to specifically check if we are testing against a HG repository and then remove the special dummy file so the tests can pass.

Fantastic! Always needed this to work with Mercurial as well. Thanks! Hope it gets incorporated soon.

This is very useful. When is it getting pulled?

An issue already exists and is blocked by a wider problematic

I know this is not hard to click the "merge pull request" button, but we must think about long term support

Given this has been sitting here for 2 years, I don't agree with the notion that a very good idea for refactoring can block this being pulled in, because for the last 2 years this work has been left sitting here.

I would be willing to get this back up to snuff with master, but is it going to remain blocked by JENKINS-18124?
