pyoxidizer: support producing MSI installers
Newer versions of PyOxidizer have support for building WiX MSI
installers "natively." Essentially, you can script the definition
of your WiX installer via Starlark and PyOxidizer can invoke
WiX tools to produce the installer.
This commit teaches our PyOxidizer config file to produce MSI
installers similarly to how
`contrib/packaging/packging.py wix` would do it.
We had to make a very minor change to `mercurial.wxs` to reflect
different paths depending on who builds. This is because when
PyOxidizer builds WiX installers, it does so from an isolated
directory, not Mercurial's source directory. We simply copy the
files into the build environment so they are accessible.
After this change, running `pyoxidizer build msi` produces a nearly
identical install layout to what the previous method produces.
When I applied this series on top of the 5.8 tag, here is the
list of differences and explanations:
* docs/*.html files are missing from the new installer because the
Python build environment doesn't have docutils.
* .pyd and .exe files differ, likely because I'm using a different
Visual Studio toolchain on my local computer than the official build
environment.
* Various .dist-info/ directories have different names. This is
because older versions of PyOxidizer had buggy behavior and weren't
properly normalizing package names in .dist-info/ directories. e.g.
we went from `cached-property-1.5.2.dist-info` to
`cached_property-1.5.2.dist-info`.
* Translations (.mo files) may be missing if gettext isn't in %Path%.
This is because the packaging.py code installs gettext and ensures
it can be found.
* Some *.dist-info/RECORD files vary due to SHA-256 content digest
divergence due to build environment differences. (This should be
harmless.)
* The new install layout ships a python3.dll because newer versions
of PyOxidizer ship this file.
* The new install layout has a different vcruntime140.dll and also a
vcruntime140_1.dll because newer versions of PyOxidizer ship a
newer version of the Visual C++ Redistributable Runtime.
The new PyOxidizer functionality is not yet integrated with
packaging.py. This will come in a subsequent commit. So for now, the
new functionality introduced here is unused.

pyoxidizer: simplify targets
The split targets existed to enable the use of a non-default
distribution flavor on Windows. Modern versions of PyOxidizer
use the "standalone_dynamic" distribution flavor by default.
So our split brain workaround is no longer needed.
Here, we unify the targets. We also remove an unreferenced
target function to create a resources file.

contrib: install PyOxidizer 0.16.0
PyOxidizer now provides MSI installers and pre-built Linux binaries.
So we install that way. This significantly reduces the time to bootstrap
a new machine in automation, as building PyOxidizer from source on a low
core count machine takes several minutes.
This change temporarily breaks the ability of the automated environment
to use the in-repo pyoxidizer.bzl configuration file, as there are
backwards-incompatible changes with the upgrade that need to be
reflected. We'll handle those in subsequent commits.

pyoxidizer: pin Python to 3.8
Newer versions of PyOxidizer use version 3.9 by default. As part of
upgrading PyOxidizer, we want to pin the version at 3.8 so we can
compare differences more easily.

contrib: upgrade Rust in Windows automation
I'm not sure why we don't install the minimum required Rust version
here like we do for Linux. Whatever: that's unrelated to wanting to
