contrib: new script to read events from a named pipe and emit catapult traces

I'm starting to get more serious about getting some insight into where
we're spending our time, both in hg itself but also in the test
suite. As a first pass, I'm going to try and produce catapult
traces[0] that can be viewed with Chrome's `about:tracing` tool.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
