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.

//! Python bindings of `hg-core` objects using the `cpython` crate.
//! Once compiled, the resulting single shared library object can be placed in
//! the `mercurial` package directly as `rustext.so` or `rustext.dll`.
//! It holds several modules, so that from the point of view of Python,
//! it behaves as the `cext` package.
//!
//! Example:
//! ```
//! >>> from mercurial.rustext import ancestor
//! >>> ancestor.__doc__
//! 'Generic DAG ancestor algorithms - Rust implementation'
//! ```
