packaging: support building WiX installers with PyOxidizer

We initially implemented PyOxidizer support for Inno installers.
That did most of the heavy work of integrating PyOxidizer into
the packaging system. Implementing WiX installer support was
pretty straightforward.

Aspects of this patch look very similar to Inno's.

The main difference is the handling of the Visual C++
Redistributable Runtime files.

The WiX installer was formerly using merge modules to
install the VC++ 9.0 runtime because this feature is
supported by the WiX installer (it isn't easily available
to Inno installers).

Our strategy for the runtime files is to install the
vcruntime140.dll file next to hg.exe just like any other
file. While we could leverage WiX's functionality for invoking
a VCRedist installer, I don't want to deal with the complexity
at this juncture. So, we let run_pyoxidizer() copy vcruntime140.dll
into the staging directory (like it does for Inno) and our
dynamic WiX XML generator picks it up as a regular file and
installs it.

We did, however, have to teach mercurial.wxs how to conditionally
use the merge modules. But this was rather straightforward.

Comparing the file layout of the WiX installers before and
after:

* Various lib/*.{pyd, dll} files no longer exist
* python27.dll was replaced by python37.dll
* vcruntime140.dll was added

All these changes are expected due to the transition to
Python 3 and to PyOxidizer, which embeded the .pyd and .dll files
in hg.exe.

Set up a repo

  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [ui]
  > interactive = true
  > [extensions]
  > record =
  > EOF

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Record help

  $ hg record -h
  hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  
  interactively select changes to commit
  
      If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
      candidates for recording.
  
      See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
  
      If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted
      for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with
      multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following
      responses are possible:
  
        y - record this change
        n - skip this change
        e - edit this change manually
  
        s - skip remaining changes to this file
        f - record remaining changes to this file
  
        d - done, skip remaining changes and files
        a - record all changes to all remaining files
        q - quit, recording no changes
  
        ? - display help
  
      This command is not available when committing a merge.
  
  (use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before
                            committing
      --close-branch        mark a branch head as closed
      --amend               amend the parent of the working directory
   -s --secret              use the secret phase for committing
   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages
   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
   -m --message TEXT        use text as commit message
   -l --logfile FILE        read commit message from file
   -d --date DATE           record the specified date as commit date
   -u --user USER           record the specified user as committer
   -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
   -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
   -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
   -Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL
  
  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
