manifest: add some documentation to _lazymanifest python code
It was not particularly easy figuring out the design of this class and keeping
track of how the pieces work. So might as well write some of it down for the
next person.

Create 2 heads containing the same file, once as
a file, once as a link. Bundle was generated with:
# hg init t
# cd t
# echo a > a
# hg ci -qAm t0 -d '0 0'
# echo l > l
# hg ci -qAm t1 -d '1 0'
# hg up -C 0
# ln -s a l
# hg ci -qAm t2 -d '2 0'
# echo l2 > l2
# hg ci -qAm t3 -d '3 0'
$ hg init t
$ cd t
$ hg -q unbundle "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-merge-symlinks.hg"
$ hg up -C 3
3 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Merge them and display *_ISLINK vars

Test working directory symlink bit calculation wrt copies,
especially on non-supporting systems.
