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.

#require darcs

  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "convert=" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ DARCS_EMAIL='[e-mail]'; export DARCS_EMAIL

initialize darcs repo

  $ mkdir darcs-repo
  $ cd darcs-repo
  $ darcs init
  $ echo a > a
  $ darcs record -a -l -m p0
  Finished recording patch 'p0'
  $ cd ..

branch and update

  $ darcs get -q darcs-repo darcs-clone >/dev/null
  $ cd darcs-clone
  $ echo c >> a
  $ echo c > c
  $ darcs record -a -l -m p1.1
  Finished recording patch 'p1.1'
  $ cd ..

skip if we can't import elementtree

  $ if hg convert darcs-repo darcs-dummy 2>&1 | grep ElementTree > /dev/null; then
  >     echo 'skipped: missing feature: elementtree module'
  >     exit 80
  > fi

update source

  $ cd darcs-repo
  $ echo b >> a
  $ echo b > b
  $ darcs record -a -l -m p1.2
  Finished recording patch 'p1.2'

  $ darcs pull -q -a --no-set-default ../darcs-clone
  Backing up ./a(*) (glob)
  We have conflicts in the following files:
  ./a
  $ sleep 1
  $ echo e > a
  $ echo f > f
  $ mkdir dir
  $ echo d > dir/d
  $ echo d > dir/d2
  $ darcs record -a -l -m p2
  Finished recording patch 'p2'

test file and directory move

  $ darcs mv f ff

Test remove + move

  $ darcs remove dir/d2
  $ rm dir/d2
  $ darcs mv dir dir2
  $ darcs record -a -l -m p3
  Finished recording patch 'p3'

The converter does not currently handle patch conflicts very well.
When they occur, it reverts *all* changes and moves forward,
letting the conflict resolving patch fix collisions.
Unfortunately, non-conflicting changes, like the addition of the
"c" file in p1.1 patch are reverted too.
Just to say that manifest not listing "c" here is a bug.
