[issue446] small problems in MANIFEST generation in setup.py

[Thomas Arendsen Hein]

New submission from Thomas Arendsen Hein <thomas at intevation.de>:

mercurial/__version__.py isn't included in the source package,
and we don't need .hg{ignore,sigs,tags} in the source.
Changing this should be easy.

Another thing that has changed: Previously we had the autogenerated
documentation in the source tarball, which I think was good, because it allowed
having the documentation without the need to have asciidoc installed. I've heard
reports of asciidoc being not easily available on some platforms where hg runs fine.
Should the docs be included again?
If not, there is no point in generating them for the dist target, so one or the
other change should be done here.
