setup: use setuptools on Windows (issue5400)

We've had a long, complicated history with setuptools. We want to
make it the universal default. But when we do, it breaks things.

`python setup.py build` is broken on Windows today. Forcing
the use of setuptools via FORCE_SETUPTOOLS=1 unbreaks things.

Since the previous bustage with making setuptools the default
was on !Windows, it seems safe to move ahead with the setuptools
transition on Windows. So this patch does that.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not
# enable evolution markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not
# enable evolution markers, hg will occasionally complain
# when it notices them, which disrupts tests resulting in
# sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the
# test-repo, there's no harm in telling hg that we support
# evolution markers, which is what the following lines
# for the hgrc file do:
cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
[experimental]
evolution=createmarkers
EOF
