Previously, we used a PPA on Ubuntu to install Mercurial. The PPA has proved to be unreliable. Furthermore, we didn't have a mechanism for installing a modern Mercurial on Debian and other derived distros. In this commit, we remove the PPA from Ubuntu. We add the ability to install Mercurial from pip to the Debian bootstrapper. However, since some people may not want <not apt> installing package-like things, we add a prompt explaining the situation and giving users a choice. We recommend installing a modern Mercurial via pip. But we also given the option to install a likely legacy version via apt. And, for Git users, we give the option to not install Mercurial at all. Since the new version of the Ubuntu bootstrapper is empty, it doesn't need to exist, so it has been removed.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================
This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.
This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.
If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:
python bin/bootstrap.py
If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:
curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python -
The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
