setup: define build_doc command Currently, various processes for packaging Mercurial state to manually invoke `make -C doc` in order to generate the documentation. This Makefile merely invokes `gendoc.py` and `runrst` to produce man pages and HTML pages. Not all environments may have the ability to easily run Makefiles. Windows is notably in this set. This commit ports the man page and HTML generation logic from doc/Makefile to setup.py. We introduce a new build_doc command which generates documentation by calling gendoc.py and runrst. The documentation can now be built via pure Python by running `python setup.py build_doc`. We don't implement dependency tracking because IMO it is more effort than it is worth. We could potentially remove the duplicated functionality in doc/Makefile. But I'm not sure what all is depending on it. So I plan to keep it around. # no-check-commit because forced foo_bar function names Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6063

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
