setup: ignore message about disabling 3rd party extensions because of version I started getting into a bind recently when switching between py2 and py3 because switching requires a `make clean`, which kills __version__.py. But then when running `make local`, it picks up the local hg.exe (MSYS seems to prefix $PATH with '.'), which doesn't know its version. That causes it to emit a warning about needing at least 4.3 to load evolve, which caused setup.py to fail saying there is no working hg executable to figure out the version. If we can ignore general extension import failures, we should be able to ignore this too.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
