packaging: write out editor.rc in Python

Let's dynamically generate the file from Python instead of
relying on Inno functionality, as that will give more
visibility into what's going on.

I spotted this as part of converging the install layout
of Inno and WiX: the former doesn't install an editor.rc
and instead defines the editor via its mercurial.rc file.

We will change the behavior of WiX later once it is consuming
the staged install directory for packaging.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
