packaging: ship all help .txt files on WiX These are technically not needed. But it is easier to ship all files than to cherry-pick. A `make install` will copy these files, so the new behavior is consistent with that. This also makes WiX consistent with Inno, which is my main reason for doing this. If we don't want to ship the files (which is a valid argument), I think we can do that in a follow up. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7166

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.
