help: scripting help topic

There are a lot of non-human consumers of Mercurial. And the challenges
and considerations for machines consuming Mercurial is significantly
different from what humans face.

I think there are enough special considerations around how machines
consume Mercurial that a dedicated help topic is warranted. I concede
the audience for this topic is probably small compared to the general
audience. However, lots of normal Mercurial users do things like create
one-off shell scripts for common workflows that I think this is useful
enough to be in the install (as opposed to, say, a wiki page - which
most users will likely never find).

This text is by no means perfect. But you have to start somewhere. I
think I did cover the important parts, though.

import unittest, sys, os

def main(modulename):
    '''run the tests found in module, printing nothing when all tests pass'''
    module = sys.modules[modulename]
    suite = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromModule(module)
    results = unittest.TestResult()
    suite.run(results)
    if results.errors or results.failures:
        for tc, exc in results.errors:
            print 'ERROR:', tc
            print
            sys.stdout.write(exc)
        for tc, exc in results.failures:
            print 'FAIL:', tc
            print
            sys.stdout.write(exc)
        sys.exit(1)

if os.environ.get('SILENT_BE_NOISY'):
    main = unittest.main
