packaging: add make target for linux wheels

Having linux wheels is going to helps system without compiler or python-dev
plus speed up the installation for everyone.

I followed the manylinux example repository
https://github.com/pypa/python-manylinux-demo
to add a make target (build-linux-wheels) using
official docker image to build python 2 linux wheels
for mercurial. It generates Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 for both
32 and 64 bits architectures.

I had to blacklist several test cases for various reasons:
* test-convert-git.t and test-subrepo-git.t because of the git version
* test-patchbomb-tls.t because of warning using tls 1.0
  It's likely because the docker image is based on centos 5.0 and
  openssl is outdated.

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).
