contrib: add a partial-merge tool for sorted lists (such as Python imports)

This is a pretty naive tool that uses a regular expression for
matching lines. It is based on a Google-internal tool that worked in a
similar way.

For now, the regular expression is hard-coded to attempt to match
single-line Python imports. The only commit I've found in the hg core
repo where the tool helped was commit 9cd6292abfdf. I think that's
because we often use multiple imports per import statement. I think
this tool is still a decent first step (especially once the regex is
made configurable in the next patch). The merging should ideally use a
proper Python parser and do the merge at the AST (or CST?) level, but
that's significantly harder, especially if you want to preserve
comments and whitespace. It's also less generic.

# integrity.

"""erase file content at a given revision

The censor command instructs Mercurial to erase all content of a file at a given
revision *without updating the changeset hash.* This allows existing history to
remain valid while preventing future clones/pulls from receiving the erased
data.

Typical uses for censor are due to security or legal requirements, including::

 * Passwords, private keys, cryptographic material
 * Licensed data/code/libraries for which the license has expired
 * Personally Identifiable Information or other private data

Censored nodes can interrupt mercurial's typical operation whenever the excised
data needs to be materialized. Some commands, like ``hg cat``/``hg revert``,
simply fail when asked to produce censored data. Others, like ``hg verify`` and
``hg update``, must be capable of tolerating censored data to continue to
function in a meaningful way. Such commands only tolerate censored file
revisions if they are allowed by the "censor.policy=ignore" config option.

A few informative commands such as ``hg grep`` will unconditionally
ignore censored data and merely report that it was encountered.
