setup: tweak error message for Python 3

We now have beta support for Python 3. In my opinion, it isn't
yet stable enough to allow `pip install Mercurial` to work with
Python 3 out of the box: we don't want people accidentally using
Mercurial with Python 3 just yet.

But I do think we should be more friendly about informing people
of their options.

This commit tweaks the error message that users see when running
setup.py with Python 3. We instruct them about the current level
of Python 3 support, point them at the wiki for more info, and
give them instructions on how to bypass the check.

As part of this, I also changed which version value is printed,
as we were printing a named tuple before.

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).
