contrib: switch the Windows bootstrap environment to py3.9...
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.
