automation: delete code related to Python 2.7 support

The building of Inno and WiX installers took a python_version argument
that allowed us to specify "2" or "3" for the major Python version. Since
we no longer support Python 2, we can delete this argument and everything
feeding into it.

Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.

Make an empty repo:

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  [1]
  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):


  $ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true

  $ hg files -r .
  [1]

Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):

  $ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null

  $ hg files -r .
