REVISION SUMMARY
  The point of trying not to blindly execute `hg` on Windows is that the local
  hg.exe would be given precedence, and if py3 isn't on PATH, it errors out with a
  modal dialog.  But that's not a problem if there is no local executable that
  could be run.
  
  The problem that I recently ran into was I upgraded the repo format to use zstd.
  But doing a `make clean` deletes all of the supporting libraries, causing the
  next run to abort with a message about not understanding the
  `revlog-compression-zstd` requirement.  By getting rid of the local executable
  in the previous commit when cleaning, we avoid leaving a broken executable
  around, and avoid the py3 PATH problem too.  There is still a small hole in that
  `hg.exe` needs to be deleted before switching between py2/py3/PyOxidizer builds,
  because the zstd module won't load.  But that seems like good hygiene anyway.
