sslutil: remove code checking for presence of ssl.SSLContext
Now that we require the presence of ssl.SSLContext in setup.py, we can remove
this code.
setup: require a Python version with modern SSL features
This increases the minimum security baseline of Mercurial and enables us to
remove compatibility code for supporting older, less secure Python versions.
sslutil: set `_canloaddefaultcerts` to `True` if `ssl.SSLContext` is present
The `load_default_certs()` method was already present when `ssl.SSLContext`
was backported to Python 2.7 (https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/
221a1f9155e2).
filemerge: add __bytes__ for absentfilectx
This will at _least_ aid some upcoming debugging.

mergestate: move staticmethod _filectxorabsent to module level
I suspect this was a static method just because it made merge.py feel
less messy, but now we have a mergestate package so we can do better.

rust: remove support for `re2`
With the performance issues with `regex` figured out and fixed in previous
patches and `regex` newly gaining support for empty alternations, there is no
reason to keep `re2` around anymore. It's only *marginally* faster at creating
the regex which saves at most a couple of ms, but gets beaten by `regex` in
every other aspect.
This removes the Rust/C/C++ bridge (hooray!), the `with-re2` feature, the
conditional code that goes with it, the documentation and relevant part of the
debug/module output.

rust-dependencies: update `regex` to 1.3.9
Version `1.3.8` introduces support for empty alternations, which makes
previously disallowed patterns usable in `regex`.
From a user's perspective, this means that glob patterns like `*.py{,c}` will
no longer generate an "invalid" regex and will use the Rust path.
`1.3.9` is a bugfix release, might as well update to the latest one.
