Use faster option for running vc-hg status (Bug#63470)

In modern Mercurial, removing the "re:" "-I" "." options provides a
10x-20x speedup because it allows the Rust implementation of "hg
status" to be used.

* lisp/vc/vc-hg.el (vc-hg--program-version): Add.
(vc-hg-dir-status-files): Use --config commands.status.relative=1 to
make paths relative when available.
