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.

test --time

  $ hg --time help -q help 2>&1 | grep time > /dev/null
  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Function to check that statprof ran
  $ statprofran () {
  >   egrep 'Sample count:|No samples recorded' > /dev/null
  > }

test --profile

  $ hg st --profile 2>&1 | statprofran

Abreviated version

  $ hg st --prof 2>&1 | statprofran

In alias

  $ hg --config "alias.profst=status --profile" profst 2>&1 | statprofran

#if lsprof

  $ prof='hg --config profiling.type=ls --profile'

  $ $prof st 2>../out
  $ grep CallCount ../out > /dev/null || cat ../out

  $ $prof --config profiling.output=../out st
  $ grep CallCount ../out > /dev/null || cat ../out

  $ $prof --config profiling.output=blackbox --config extensions.blackbox= st
  $ grep CallCount .hg/blackbox.log > /dev/null || cat .hg/blackbox.log

  $ $prof --config profiling.format=text st 2>../out
  $ grep CallCount ../out > /dev/null || cat ../out

  $ echo "[profiling]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "format=kcachegrind" >> $HGRCPATH

  $ $prof st 2>../out
  $ grep 'events: Ticks' ../out > /dev/null || cat ../out

  $ $prof --config profiling.output=../out st
  $ grep 'events: Ticks' ../out > /dev/null || cat ../out

#endif

#if lsprof serve

Profiling of HTTP requests works

  $ $prof --config profiling.format=text --config profiling.output=../profile.log serve -d -p $HGPORT --pid-file ../hg.pid -A ../access.log
  $ cat ../hg.pid >> $DAEMON_PIDS
  $ hg -q clone -U http://localhost:$HGPORT ../clone

A single profile is logged because file logging doesn't append
  $ grep CallCount ../profile.log | wc -l
  \s*1 (re)

Install an extension that can sleep and guarantee a profiler has time to run

  $ cat >> sleepext.py << EOF
  > import time
  > from mercurial import registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'sleep', [], b'hg sleep')
  > def sleep(ui, *args, **kwargs):
  >     time.sleep(0.1)
  > EOF

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sleep = `pwd`/sleepext.py
  > EOF

statistical profiler works

  $ hg --profile sleep 2>../out
  $ cat ../out | statprofran

Various statprof formatters work

  $ hg --profile --config profiling.statformat=byline sleep 2>../out || cat ../out
  $ head -n 3 ../out
    %   cumulative      self          
   time    seconds   seconds  name    
  * sleepext.py:*:sleep (glob)
  $ cat ../out | statprofran

  $ hg --profile --config profiling.statformat=bymethod sleep 2>../out || cat ../out
  $ head -n 1 ../out
    %   cumulative      self          
  $ cat ../out | statprofran

  $ hg --profile --config profiling.statformat=hotpath sleep 2>../out || cat ../out
  $ cat ../out | statprofran

  $ hg --profile --config profiling.statformat=json sleep 2>../out || cat ../out
  $ cat ../out
  \[\[-?\d+.* (re)

statprof can be used as a standalone module

  $ "$PYTHON" -m mercurial.statprof hotpath
  must specify --file to load
  [1]

  $ cd ..
