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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3990

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
