make: switch the PYTHON default to `py.exe -3` on Windows
Python3 _is_ named `python.exe` on Windows, but that isn't necessarily on PATH
when installing from python.org. I do happen to have a python.exe on PATH in
`$LOCALAPPDATA/Microsoft/WindowsApps`, but it appears to be 0 bytes (likely
because of permission issues), and doesn't run:
$ python -V
- Cannot open
Pulkit hit the same error as I did though, so it isn't just my system:
$ make -C . local
make: Entering directory `/home/Dell/repos/hg-committed`
python setup.py \
build_py -c -d . \
build_ext -i \
build_hgexe -i \
build_mo
- Cannot openmake: *** [local] Error 1
The `py.exe` dispatcher lives in the Windows directory (so it is on PATH), looks
up the python.org installation, and invokes that interpreter directly. I get a
warning with py39, but if it's our issue, it was an existing one:
$ make -C .. local
make: Entering directory `/c/Users/Matt/hg'
py -3 setup.py \
build_py -c -d . \
build_ext -i \
build_hgexe -i \
build_mo

The end result is a py3 based hg.exe that annoyingly won't run because it can't
find python39.dll. It will run tests (the ones without the `python3` shbang
line anyway), because the test runner adjusts PATH to include the python running
it.
