packaging: add Provides: python3-mercurial and Homepage to debian package There are other packages that depend on python3-mercurial, like debian's mercurial-git, so we should mark ourselves as providing it. I compared the control file we generate to the one that the debian maintainers generate, and noticed several differences: - the Homepage bit. I included this, because why not - a more robust Suggests list that includes a graphical merge tool - a more robust Breaks list - debian's Recommends openssh-client, we only Recommends ca-certificates - a split into `mercurial` and `mercurial-common` (and possibly others?) - a slightly different description Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9983

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
