System pip3 is only one option for installing Mercurial, which isn't as
relevant after the switch to Git. Also update docs that many commands
have been tested to not require python3-pip but require python3-venv.

Using the current example on latest `mozilla-unified` yields this error
when used in a `mach build`:
```
TypeError: startswith first arg must be str or a tuple of str, not list
```
Implement the diagnostic's advice: swap the list for a tuple.

Bug 1867857 - Add instructions to source documentation for testing in other Macs by packaging. r=sylvestre DONTBUILD
...
When I had to test a change in another macOS version, I naively copied the `Nightly.app` to another computer, just to find out it silently fails (because of symlinked libraries) and it took a while (and external help) to figure that out.
This change instructs developers to package and use the `.dmg` instead when they want to do that, sparing the frustration and incentivizing testing in different systems.
