linelog: add a Python implementation of the linelog datastructure
This datastructure was originally developed by Jun Wu at Facebook,
inspired by SCCS weaves. It's useful as a cache for blame information,
but also is the magic that makes `hg absorb` easy to implement. In
service of importing the code to Mercurial, I wanted to actually
/understand/ it, and once I did I decided to take a run at
implementing it.
The help/internals/linelog.txt document is the README from Jun Wu's
implementaiton. It all applies to our linelog implementation.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit 273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
