[merge] lookup branches through launchpad

[Martin Pool]

The Launchpad.net web app that supports Ubuntu development knows (a bit)
about Bazaar branches.  They are automatically mirrored, and can be
associated with products, bugs, and so on.  Registering open source
branches is a pretty good idea because then they'll be available to
other people if your regular server should happen to go offline.
(Two good developers, Tim and Jonathan, are working on this now and I
think there will be some more features fairly soon.)

This fairly minor change adds a new pseudo-transport that redirects
through launchpad to get the location of a branch.  A good number of
open source projects are automatically imported into Bazaar by Launchpad
(thanks mostly to ddaa) and so you can say 'bzr log lp:python' and get
the history of python commits.

This also adds some help explaining this.

(Possibly the transport should be a class that overrides __new__, so
class members can be inspected?)
