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.
