help: scripting help topic

There are a lot of non-human consumers of Mercurial. And the challenges
and considerations for machines consuming Mercurial is significantly
different from what humans face.

I think there are enough special considerations around how machines
consume Mercurial that a dedicated help topic is warranted. I concede
the audience for this topic is probably small compared to the general
audience. However, lots of normal Mercurial users do things like create
one-off shell scripts for common workflows that I think this is useful
enough to be in the install (as opposed to, say, a wiki page - which
most users will likely never find).

This text is by no means perfect. But you have to start somewhere. I
think I did cover the important parts, though.

"""
Utility for inspecting files in various ways.

This tool is like the collection of tools found in a unix environment but are
cross platform and stable and suitable for our needs in the test suite.

This can be used instead of tools like:
  [
  dd
  find
  head
  hexdump
  ls
  md5sum
  readlink
  sha1sum
  stat
  tail
