help: add documentation for changegroup formats

There is no formal location for spec-like technical/internal docs. The
repository makes sense as such a location because spec-like
documentation should be reviewed (ruling out a wiki). mpm has also
stated that he would like this documentation to be part of the
built-in help system. So, we establish an "internals" sub-directory
to hold this class of documentation.

The format of changegroups does not appear to be documented anywhere,
even in source code. It therefore seemed like an appropriate first thing
to document.

This patch adds low-level documentation of versions 1 and 2 of the
changegroup foromat. It currently only describes the raw data format.
There is probably room to write higher-level documentation on strategies
for producing and consuming the data. We'll leave that for another day.

The added file is not yet accessible via `hg help` nor via hgweb.
Support for this will follow in subsequent patches.

Two changesets this time so we rollback to a real changeset
  $ hg commit -m'add a again'
  $ echo a >> a
  $ hg commit -m'modify a'

Test issue 902 (current branch is preserved)
  $ hg branch test
  marked working directory as branch test
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg rollback
  repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
  working directory now based on revision 0
  $ hg branch

  $ cat .hg/last-message.txt ; echo

Test rollback of hg before issue 902 was fixed

  $ hg commit -m "test3"
  $ hg branch test
  marked working directory as branch test
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ rm .hg/undo.branch
  $ hg rollback
  repository tip rolled back to revision 0 (undo commit)
  named branch could not be reset: current branch is still 'test'
  working directory now based on revision 0
  $ hg branch
  test

working dir unaffected by rollback: do not restore dirstate et. al.
  $ hg log --template '{rev}  {branch}  {desc|firstline}\n'
  0  default  add a again
  $ hg status
  M a
  $ hg bookmark foo
  $ hg commit -m'modify a again'
  $ echo b > b
  $ hg bookmark bar -r default #making bar active, before the transaction
  $ hg commit -Am'add b'
  adding b
  $ hg log --template '{rev}  {branch}  {desc|firstline}\n'
  2  test  add b
  1  test  modify a again
  0  default  add a again
  $ hg update bar

rollback by pretxncommit saves commit message (issue1635)

  $ echo a >> a
  $ hg --config hooks.pretxncommit=false commit -m"precious commit message"
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
  abort: pretxncommit hook exited with status * (glob)
  [255]
  $ cat .hg/last-message.txt ; echo
  precious commit message

same thing, but run $EDITOR

  $ cat > editor.sh << '__EOF__'
  > echo "another precious commit message" > "$1"
  > __EOF__
  $ HGEDITOR="\"sh\" \"`pwd`/editor.sh\"" hg --config hooks.pretxncommit=false commit 2>&1
  note: commit message saved in .hg/last-message.txt
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
  abort: pretxncommit hook exited with status * (glob)
  [255]
  $ cat .hg/last-message.txt
  another precious commit message

test rollback on served repository

#if serve
  $ hg commit -m "precious commit message"
  $ hg serve -p $HGPORT -d --pid-file=hg.pid -A access.log -E errors.log
  $ cat hg.pid >> $DAEMON_PIDS
  $ cd ..
  $ hg clone http://localhost:$HGPORT u

  adding file changes
  added 3 changesets with 2 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd u
  $ hg id default
  068774709090

now rollback and observe that 'hg serve' reloads the repository and
presents the correct tip changeset:

  $ hg -R ../t rollback
  repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
  working directory now based on revision 0
  $ hg id default
  791dd2169706
#endif

update to older changeset and then refuse rollback, because
that would lose data (issue2998)
  $ cd ../t
  $ hg -q update
  $ rm `hg status -un`
  $ template='{rev}:{node|short}  [{branch}]  {desc|firstline}\n'
  $ echo 'valuable new file' > b
  $ echo 'valuable modification' >> a
  $ hg commit -A -m'a valuable change'
  adding b
  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg rollback
  abort: rollback of last commit while not checked out may lose data
  (use -f to force)
  [255]
  $ hg tip -q
  2:4d9cd3795eea
  $ hg rollback -f
  repository tip rolled back to revision 1 (undo commit)
  $ hg status
  $ hg log --removed b   # yep, it's gone

same again, but emulate an old client that doesn't write undo.desc
  $ hg -q update
  $ echo 'valuable modification redux' >> a
  $ hg commit -m'a valuable change redux'
  $ rm .hg/undo.desc
  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg rollback
  rolling back unknown transaction

corrupt journal test
  $ echo "foo" > .hg/store/journal
