cext: add Python 3.10 support

* Replace "Py_TYPE(obj) = type;" with "Py_SET_TYPE(obj, type);"
* Add pythoncapi_compat.h header file to get Py_SET_TYPE() on Python
  2.7-3.8. Header file added to mercurial/ and
  contrib/python-zstandard/zstd/common/.

In Python 3.10, Py_TYPE(obj) must not longer be used as an l-value.

pythoncapi_compat.h comes from:
https://github.com/pythoncapi/pythoncapi_compat

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.
