rust-cpython: start cpython crate bindings

This changeset introduces the hg-cpython crate,
that compiles as a shared library holding a whole
Python package (mercurial.rustext), with only the empty
'ancestor' submodule for now.

Such bindings will be easier and safer to develop and maintain
that those of `hg-direct-ffi`.
They don't involve C code, only unsafe Rust that's mostly isolated
within the cpython crate.

The long-term goal would be to import the provided modules, such
as rustext.ancestor with mercurial.policy.importmod, same as
we already do with cext modules.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
