pyoxidizer: disable using in-memory resources

It's possible that the errors are due to using an incompatible version of
PyOxidizer; unfortunately the README.md file in this directory says to fetch a
copy of PyOxidizer matching the commit in this pyoxidizer.bzl file, and yet the
pyoxidizer.bzl file does not actually have a commit mentioned in it.

By disabling in-memory modules, this appears to work on all platforms using the
current head version of PyOxidizer, so let's disable them for now.

Sample error (during `pyoxidizer build`):

```
error[PYOXIDIZER_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE]: adding PythonExtensionModule<name=hgext.fsmonitor.pywatchman.bser>

Caused by:
    extension module hgext.fsmonitor.pywatchman.bser cannot be loaded from memory but memory loading required
   --> ./pyoxidizer.bzl:140:5

    |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ add_python_resources()

Mercurial
=========

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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
