commitctx: document the manifest writing function

Same spirit as for `_filecommit` lets document the input and output before
making any change or improvement.

This is part of a larger refactoring/cleanup of the commitctx code to clarify
and augment the logic gathering metadata useful for copy tracing. The current
code is a tad too long and entangled to make such update easy. We start with
easy and small cleanup.

"""send ui.log() data to a subprocess (EXPERIMENTAL)

This extension lets you specify a shell command per ui.log() event,
sending all remaining arguments to as environment variables to that command.

Positional arguments construct a log message, which is passed in the `MSG1`
environment variables. Each keyword argument is set as a `OPT_UPPERCASE_KEY`
variable (so the key is uppercased, and prefixed with `OPT_`). The original
event name is passed in the `EVENT` environment variable, and the process ID
of mercurial is given in `HGPID`.

So given a call `ui.log('foo', 'bar %s\n', 'baz', spam='eggs'), a script
configured for the `foo` event can expect an environment with `MSG1=bar baz`,
and `OPT_SPAM=eggs`.

Scripts are configured in the `[logtoprocess]` section, each key an event name.
For example::

  [logtoprocess]
  commandexception = echo "$MSG1" > /var/log/mercurial_exceptions.log

would log the warning message and traceback of any failed command dispatch.

Scripts are run asynchronously as detached daemon processes; mercurial will
not ensure that they exit cleanly.
