packaging: add make target for linux wheels

Having linux wheels is going to helps system without compiler or python-dev
plus speed up the installation for everyone.

I followed the manylinux example repository
https://github.com/pypa/python-manylinux-demo
to add a make target (build-linux-wheels) using
official docker image to build python 2 linux wheels
for mercurial. It generates Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 for both
32 and 64 bits architectures.

I had to blacklist several test cases for various reasons:
* test-convert-git.t and test-subrepo-git.t because of the git version
* test-patchbomb-tls.t because of warning using tls 1.0
  It's likely because the docker image is based on centos 5.0 and
  openssl is outdated.

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.
