[New-bugs-announce] [issue17570] Improve devguide Windows instructions

[Ezio Melotti]

New submission from Ezio Melotti:

This is a follow up of #14468, and in particular of msg183031.

The instructions in the "committing" page of the devguide are unix-centric, in particular:
  1) on Windows ~/.hgrc is $HOME$/mercurial.ini;
  2) the "Settings dialogs" of TortoiseHG can/should be used to edit mercurial.ini;
  3) the devguide suggests "./python.exe Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py", but ./ doesn't work on Windows.
