setup: install translation files as package data Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As package data must be located within the package directory, the data files are now generated in the build directory. To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and `templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package directory.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
