inno: replace add_path.exe with a Pascal script

While attempting to build the Inno installer, I was unable to
find a copy of add_path.exe from the source site previously
listed in the docs.

Some quick Googling revealed that achieving this functionality
in native Pascal scripts seems to be preferred these days.

This commit vendors "Modify Path" (fetched from
https://www.legroom.net/software/modpath) and plugs it into
our Inno config file per its instructions.

The existing Inno installer appears to only modify PATH for
the current user (as opposed to at the system level). I've
maintained this behavior with Modify Path. Although it would
be trivial to change or add checkboxes to control the behavior.
I'll leave this as a follow-up.

  for 64-bit:
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
    python setup.py py2exe -b 3

Copy add_path.exe and cacert.pem files into the dist directory that just got created.

If you are using Python 2.6 or later, or if you are using MSVC 2008 to compile
mercurial, you must include the C runtime libraries in the installer. To do so,
install the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package. Then in your windows\winsxs
folder, locate the folder containing the dlls version 9.0.21022.8.

  cd doc
  mingw32-make html
  cd ..

If you use ISTool, you open the
C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss
file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file.

Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler.  Assuming it's in the path
you should execute:

  iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=foo

Where 'foo' is the version number you would like to see in the
'Add/Remove Applications' tool.  The installer will be placed into
a directory named Output/ at the root of your repository.
If the /dVERSION=foo parameter is not given in the command line, the
installer will retrieve the version information from the __version__.py file.

If you want to build an installer for a 64-bit mercurial, add /dARCH=x64 to
your command line:
  iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dARCH=x64

To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the
following (MinGW build chain):

  echo [build] > setup.cfg
  echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg
  python setup.py py2exe -b 2
  cd doc
  mingw32-make html
  cd ..
  iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=snapshot

and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release).
