packaging: rename run_pyoxidizer()
I'm going to split this function up in a future commit and I'll
want the name "run_pyoxidizer()" for a lower-level function for
invoking `pyoxidizer`.

packaging: move documentation HTML building to own function
This is part of some light refactoring to enable us to use
PyOxidizer for WiX MSI installer generation.

pyoxidizer: support code signing
Newer versions of PyOxidizer feature built-in support for
code signing. You simply declare a code signer in the Starlark
configuration file, activate it for automatic signing, and
PyOxidizer will add code signatures to signable files as it
encounters them.
This commit teaches our Starlark configuration file to enable
automatic code signing. But only on Windows for the moment, as our
immediate goal is to overhaul the Windows packaging.
The feature is opt-in: you must pass variables to PyOxidizer's
build context via `pyoxidizer build --var` or
`pyoxidizer build --var-env` to activate code signing.

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.
