setup: drop the hack to disable linker warning 4197 on Windows

I don't see this when building on Windows with py3.8 or py3.12, so either the
code was fixed, or (more likely) the compiler stopped warning about it some time
after VS 2008.  If we do have to put this back, it would probably be better to
put a `#pragma` in a header file somewhere, and avoid `setuptools` technical
debt.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
