packaging: replace dockerlib.sh with a Python script...
packaging: replace dockerlib.sh with a Python script I want to do some more advanced things with Docker in upcoming commits. Trying to do that with shell scripts will be a bit too painful for my liking. Implementing things in Python will be vastly simpler in the long run. This commit essentially ports dockerlib.sh to a Python script. dockerdeb and dockerrpm have been ported to use the new hg-docker script. hg-docker requires Python 3. I've only tested on Python 3.5. Unlike the local packaging scripts which may need to run on old distros, the Docker packaging scripts don't have these constraints. So I think it is acceptable to require Python 3.5. As part of the transition, the Docker image tags changed slightly. I don't think that's a big deal: the Docker image names are effectively arbitrary and are a means to an end to achieve running commands in Docker containers. The code for resolving the Dockerfile content allows substituting values passed as arguments. This will be used in a subsequent commit. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3759

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 contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.
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.
