wix: switch Mercurial Windows installer to use py2exe --bundle 3

--bundle 3 leaves all of the compiled C extensions and other DLLs outside of
the library.zip, so we no longer add the installer folder to the system PATH.
Instead, we now ship a small bin/hg.cmd and it is placed in the PATH.

Switching to py2exe --bundle 3 is necessary because the higher bundle options
are not supported on x64.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
