setup: explain to distutils how we write rc versions

When we use a rc version number (e.g. 4.8rc0), bdist_msi is using
distutils.StrictVersion to parse it into a tuple of numbers.
By default, StrictVersion.version_re only recognizes [ab] for alpha/beta,
where mercurial may use '-rc' or 'rc'.
This change makes StrictVersion parse correctly our version numbers, so that
bdist_msi doesn't fail on rc versions.

  $ hg init foo
  $ cd foo
  $ echo foo > foo
  $ hg add foo

mq may keep a reference to the repository so __del__ will not be
called and .hg/journal.dirstate will not be deleted:

  $ hg ci -m foo
  error: pretxncommit.nocommits hook failed: no commits allowed
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
  abort: no commits allowed
  [255]
  $ hg ci -m foo
  error: pretxncommit.nocommits hook failed: no commits allowed
  transaction abort!
  rollback completed
  abort: no commits allowed
  [255]

  $ cd ..
