help: get helptext/ data from `resources` module if available

For PyOxidizer, we need to read configs using the `resources`
module. This patch makes it so we use that module if available
(i.e. Python >= 3.7). It does that by adding a new `open_resource()`
function to our `resourceutil` module.

Tested by running `$PYTHON ./hg help pager` for each $PYTHON in
{python2, python3.6, python3.7}.
