packaging: remove hg-ssh.8.html from Inno installer We don't ship hg-ssh because it requires a python.exe to run, which we don't ship. So it doesn't make sense to ship the HTML documentation for this tool. This change makes the Inno install layout more consistent with WiX, which doesn't ship this file. Functionality for removing files has been made generic, in anticipation of future expansion. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7169

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
