help: internals topic for wire protocol

The Mercurial wire protocol is under-documented. This includes a lack
of source docstrings and comments as well as pages on the official
wiki.

This patch adds the beginnings of "internals" documentation on the
wire protocol.

The documentation should have nearly complete coverage on the
lower-level parts of the protocol, such as the different transport
mechanims, how commands and arguments are sent, capabilities, and,
of course, the commands themselves.

As part of writing this documentation, I discovered a number of
deficiencies in the protocol and bugs in the implementation. I've
started sending patches for some of the issues. I hope to send a lot
more.

This patch starts with the scaffolding for a new internals page.

  $ hg init
  $ echo foo > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "1"

  $ echo bar > b
  $ hg add b
  $ hg remove a

Should show a removed and b added:

  $ hg status
  A b
  R a

  $ hg revert --all
  undeleting a
  forgetting b

Should show b unknown and a back to normal:

  $ hg status
  ? b

  $ rm b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo foo-a > a
  $ hg commit -m "2a"

  $ hg co -C 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo foo-b > a
  $ hg commit -m "2b"
  created new head

  $ HGMERGE=true hg merge 1
  merging a
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Should show foo-b:

  $ cat a
  foo-b

  $ echo bar > b
  $ hg add b
  $ rm a
  $ hg remove a

Should show a removed and b added:

  $ hg status
  A b
  R a

Revert should fail:

  $ hg revert
  abort: uncommitted merge with no revision specified
  (use 'hg update' or see 'hg help revert')
  [255]

Revert should be ok now:

  $ hg revert -r2 --all
  undeleting a
  forgetting b

Should show b unknown and a marked modified (merged):

  $ hg status
  M a
  ? b

Should show foo-b:

  $ cat a
  foo-b
