bpo-27593: Get SCM build info from git instead of hg (#1327)

Based on commit 5c4b0d063aba0a68c325073f5f312a2c9f40d178 by Ned
Deily, which is based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve
Dower.

Remove also the private _Py_svnversion() function and SVNVERSION
variable.

Note: Py_SubversionRevision() and Py_SubversionShortBranch() are
unchanged, they are part of the public API.

 Build
 -----
 
+- bpo-27593: sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
+  python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
+  git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
+
 - bpo-29643: Fix ``--enable-optimization`` configure option didn't work.
 
 - bpo-29572: Update Windows build and OS X installers to use OpenSSL 1.0.2k.
