documentation: add some internals documentation about bid merge

This is an important algorithm that was only documented on the wiki so far.

Some update to the algorithm (and associated doc) is to expected in the future
since the bid merge algorithm is bug-ridden when it comes to file deletion comes
to play.

"""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.
