Python 3.8 with libs needed for Mercurial

Georges Racinet requested to merge topic/heptapod/python3.8 into branch/heptapod

As can be seen in the changeset descriptions, complications arose due to upstream GitLab patching out of readline (in favor of editline) and of sqlite (to avoid a dependency on a lib not built by Omnibus). In both cases, we chose to rely on the underlying Linux distribution, as it should be a long time before that becomes more problematic than building libsqlite3 or patching CPython.

Closes #4 (closed)
