run-tests: insist that if people use Python 3, they use 3.5.x

We depend on both stdlib functionality (difflib.diff_bytes) and
language behavior (bytes formatting) introduced in 3.5, so let's try
and prevent some useless bug reports before they happen.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
