copies: add more details to the documentation of mergecopies()

This documentation is very helpful for any developer to understand what
copytracing is and what the function does. Since this is the main function of
doing copytracing, I have also included bits about copytracing in it.

This additions are picked from a doc by Stash@Fb. So thanks to him.

/*
 mpatch.c - efficient binary patching for Mercurial

 This implements a patch algorithm that's O(m + nlog n) where m is the
 size of the output and n is the number of patches.

 Given a list of binary patches, it unpacks each into a hunk list,
 then combines the hunk lists with a treewise recursion to form a
 single hunk list. This hunk list is then applied to the original
 text.

 The text (or binary) fragments are copied directly from their source
 Python objects into a preallocated output string to avoid the
 allocation of intermediate Python objects. Working memory is about 2x
 the total number of hunks.
