contrib: migrate off of a couple of bitbucket URLs
I noticed this when diffing the thg installer against Mercurial to see what was
missing. There are a handful of other URLs in i18n and extension example help
text if anyone cares to update those.

WiX Installer
=============
The files in this directory are used to produce an MSI installer using
the WiX Toolset (http://wixtoolset.org/).
The MSI installers require elevated (admin) privileges due to the
installation of MSVC CRT libraries into the Windows system store. See
the Inno Setup installers in the ``inno`` sibling directory for installers
that do not have this requirement.
Requirements
============
Building the WiX installer requires a Windows machine.
The following system dependencies must be installed:
* Python 3.6+ (to run the ``packaging.py`` script)
Building
========
The ``packaging.py`` script automates the process of producing an MSI
installer. It manages fetching and configuring non-system dependencies
(such as gettext, and various Python packages). It can be run from a
basic cmd.exe Window (i.e. activating the MSBuildTools environment is
not required).
From the prompt, change to the Mercurial source directory. e.g.
``cd c:\src\hg``.
Next, invoke ``packaging.py`` to produce an MSI installer.::
$ py -3 contrib\packaging\packaging.py \
wix --pyoxidizer-target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
If everything runs as intended, dependencies will be fetched and
configured into the ``build`` sub-directory, Mercurial will be built,
and an installer placed in the ``dist`` sub-directory. The final line
of output should print the name of the generated installer.
Additional options may be configured. Run ``packaging.py wix --help``
to see a list of program flags.
Relationship to TortoiseHG
==========================
TortoiseHG uses the WiX files in this directory.
The code for building TortoiseHG installers lives at
https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/tortoisehg/thg-winbuild and is maintained by
Steve Borho (steve@borho.org).
When changing behavior of the WiX installer, be sure to notify
the TortoiseHG Project of the changes so they have ample time
provide feedback and react to those changes.
