setup: properly install build_hgextindex for py2exe builds

Because the hgbuild class has a private copy of build.sub_commands,
modifying build.sub_commands from this code effectively resulted
in a no-op. Registering the sub-command on hgbuild actually results
in the sub-command running when building Mercurial.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6093

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.
