run-tests: add --with-python3 to define a Python 3 interpreter

Currently, very few parts of Mercurial run under Python 3, notably the
test harness.

We want to write tests that run Python 3. For example, we want to
extend test-check-py3-compat.t to parse and load Python files.
However, we have a problem: finding appropriate files requires
running `hg files` and this requires Python 2 until `hg` works
with Python 3.

As a temporary workaround, we add --with-python3 to the test harness
to allow us to define the path to a Python 3 interpreter. This
interpreter is made available to the test environment via $PYTHON3 so
tests can run things with Python 3 while the test harness and `hg`
invocations continue to run from Python 2. To round out the feature,
a "py3exe" hghave check has been added.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Ama
  adding a

  $ echo b > b
  $ hg branch b
  marked working directory as branch b
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -Amb
  adding b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Fast-forward:

  $ hg merge b
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ hg ci -Ammerge

Bogus fast-forward should fail:

  $ hg merge b
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)

  $ hg merge ::.
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
