Summary

This is needed to be able to use the git extension.

The extension no longer complains about the library being not installed, but
hg log -r . on a repo that works in WSL yielded a TypeError:

the PyOxidizer target looks in the py2.txt file for requirements instead of py3

If anyone knows where this looks, I'm happy to try to fix it. I did a quick search for parts the *.txt file name, but came up empty (other than in build_with_py2exe).

@durin42: any ideas about the stacktrace? I haven't dug into it at all, so I'm hoping maybe it's something you've seen before. It seems to original here:

The problem is that pygit2 wants to load python3.dll (which is available in the python install directory next to python.exe and pythonXY.dll), but we don't copy that next to wrapper.exe, nor include it in PyOxidizer. That prevents pygit2 from initializing. So I think this patch is OK to take, and then we need to figure out how to bring python3.dll into the packaging.
