py3: fix for Python 3.12 emitting SyntaxWarning on invalid escape sequences

Missed in 805d4a462abb:

  $ python3.12 mercurial/store.py
  mercurial/store.py:406: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.'
    EXCLUDED = re.compile(b'.*undo\.[^/]+\.(nd?|i)$')

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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.
