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.

Make sure that the internal merge tools (internal:fail, internal:local,
internal:union and internal:other) are used when matched by a
merge-pattern in hgrc

Make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test:

  $ unset HGMERGE

  $ hg init

Initial file contents:

  $ echo "line 1" > f
  $ echo "line 2" >> f
  $ echo "line 3" >> f
  $ hg ci -Am "revision 0"
  adding f

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3

Branch 1: editing line 1:

  $ sed 's/line 1/first line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited first line"

Branch 2: editing line 3:

  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/line 3/third line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited third line"
  created new head

Merge using internal:fail tool:

  $ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "* = internal:fail" >> .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
  [1]

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using internal:local tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:fail/internal:local/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new
  $ mv .hg/hgrc.new .hg/hgrc

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

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using internal:other tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:local/internal:other/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new
  $ mv .hg/hgrc.new .hg/hgrc

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

  $ cat f
  first line
  line 2
  line 3

  $ hg stat

Merge using default tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ rm .hg/hgrc

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

  $ cat f

  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat

Merge using internal:union tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ echo "line 4a" >>f
  $ hg ci -Am "Adding fourth line (commit 4)"
  $ hg update 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ echo "line 4b" >>f
  $ hg ci -Am "Adding fourth line v2 (commit 5)"
  created new head

  $ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "* = internal:union" >> .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge 3
