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.

#require execbit

Create extension that can disable exec checks:

  $ cat > noexec.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import extensions, util
  > def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
  >     pass
  > def checkexec(orig, path):
  >     return False
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checkexec', checkexec)
  > EOF

Simulate a Windows merge:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/noexec.py merge --debug
  resolving manifests
   branchmerge: True, force: False, partial: False
   ancestor: a03b0deabf2b, local: d6fa54f68ae1+, remote: 2d8bcf2dda39
   a: update permissions -> e
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Simulate a Windows commit:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/noexec.py commit -m 'win: merge'

  $ hg manifest -v
  755 * a
  644   b

  $ cd ..
