rust: remove support for `re2` With the performance issues with `regex` figured out and fixed in previous patches and `regex` newly gaining support for empty alternations, there is no reason to keep `re2` around anymore. It's only *marginally* faster at creating the regex which saves at most a couple of ms, but gets beaten by `regex` in every other aspect. This removes the Rust/C/C++ bridge (hooray!), the `with-re2` feature, the conditional code that goes with it, the documentation and relevant part of the debug/module output.

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
