packaging: bundle dulwich, keyring, and pywin32-ctypes with WiX too TortoiseHg installs these, which is possibly where they originated (though I would have thought it more likely to be in the WiX installer, given its heritage). When I was working on the TortoiseHg app for Mac (which uses the similar `py2app`), it wasn't possible to use the keyring extension (even externally) without bundling this keyring package into the app. Assuming the same principle applies here, these would enable some common extensions. One of the things that the TortoiseHg packager on macOS does now is it adds the user's local `site-packages` directory to `sys.path`. That would allow the user to install these critical modules in cases like this. But that can probably wait for py3 packaging. The only difference in the installed packages that I see now is WiX also bundles distutils for some reason. I suppose that's not harming anything, so I'm not touching it. The only orphans in the install directories when comparing WiX and Inno now is the Copying.txt vs COPYING.rtf, the two uninstaller files for Inno, and a `Mercurial.url` file in Inno. I have no idea what that is, and it has *.ini syntax with a single field pointing to the Mercurial homepage. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8062

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).
