help: add internals.extensions topic

I think it's better to include the API overview in core as we now have the
internals section in our help system.

Retrieved from the wiki, and formatted as reST. Several wiki links are
removed since they are invalid in the help. The sections about example
extension are removed at all as they seemed too verbose.

Test template output

  $ hg --cwd tmp cat ../b ../c -T '== {path|relpath} ({path}) r{rev} ==\n{data}'
  == ../b (b) r2 ==
  1
  == ../c (c) r2 ==

  $ hg cat b c -Tjson --output -
  [
   {
    "data": "1\n",
    "path": "b"
   },
   {
    "data": "3\n",
    "path": "c"
   }
  ]

  $ hg cat b c -Tjson --output 'tmp/%p.json'
  $ cat tmp/b.json
  [
   {
    "data": "1\n",
    "path": "b"
   }
  ]
  $ cat tmp/c.json
  [
   {
    "data": "3\n",
    "path": "c"
   }
  ]

Test working directory

  $ echo b-wdir > b
  $ hg cat -r 'wdir()' b
  b-wdir

Environment variables are not visible by default

  $ PATTERN='t4' hg log -r '.' -T "{ifcontains('PATTERN', envvars, 'yes', 'no')}\n"
  no

Environment variable visibility can be explicit

  $ PATTERN='t4' hg log -r '.' -T "{envvars % '{key} -> {value}\n'}" \
  >                 --config "experimental.exportableenviron=PATTERN"
  PATTERN -> t4

Test behavior of output when directory structure does not already exist

  $ mkdir foo
  $ echo a > foo/a
  $ hg add foo/a
  $ hg commit -qm "add foo/a"
  $ hg cat --output "output/%p" foo/a
  $ cat output/foo/a
  a
