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 execbit

  $ rm -rf a
  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ hg ci -qAm0
  $ echo toremove > toremove
  $ echo todelete > todelete
  $ chmod +x foo toremove todelete
  $ hg ci -qAm1

Test that local removed/deleted, remote removed works with flags
  $ hg rm toremove
  $ rm todelete
  $ hg co -q 0

  $ echo dirty > foo
  $ hg up -c
  abort: uncommitted changes
  [255]
  $ hg up -q
  $ cat foo
  dirty
  $ hg st -A
  M foo
  C todelete
  C toremove

Validate update of standalone execute bit change:

  $ hg up -C 0

  $ chmod -x foo
  $ hg ci -m removeexec
  nothing changed
