contrib: switch the Windows bootstrap environment to py3.9 Use the built in `venv` module instead of `virtualenv` for simplicity, and upgrade to a modern Mercurial that supports py3. One issue here is that `venv` doesn't copy `python3{,Y}.dll` into the `Scripts` subdirectory, so running the `hg.exe` that gets installed immediately fails on a clean system because Python isn't in `PATH`. There is code in `python.exe` to detect when it is in a venv and add the original python install to the DLL lookup path, which we don't do in `hg.exe` yet. The simple workaround for now is to run the `hg` script with `python.exe`. Typically `PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSSTDIO` must be set in the environment on Windows, but the clone process works without it.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
