contrib: new script to read events from a named pipe and emit catapult traces

I'm starting to get more serious about getting some insight into where
we're spending our time, both in hg itself but also in the test
suite. As a first pass, I'm going to try and produce catapult
traces[0] that can be viewed with Chrome's `about:tracing` tool.

+"""Tool read primitive events from a pipe to produce a catapult trace.
+
+For now the event stream supports
+
+  START $SESSIONID ...
+
+and
+
+  END $SESSIONID ...
+
+events. Everything after the SESSIONID (which must not contain spaces)
+is used as a label for the event. Events are timestamped as of when
+they arrive in this process and are then used to produce catapult
+traces that can be loaded in Chrome's about:tracing utility. It's
+important that the event stream *into* this process stay simple,
+because we have to emit it from the shell scripts produced by
+run-tests.py.
+
+Typically you'll want to place the path to the named pipe in the
+HGCATAPULTSERVERPIPE environment variable, which both run-tests and hg
+understand.
