Build: Mercurial (hg) compatibility with old versions

We are using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to perform the clone
step (`readthedocs/build:ubuntu-20.04`) which comes with Mercurial v5.3.1 and
install by default the `sparse-revlog` requirement.

However, if the build is using `readthedocs/build:latest`, which comes with
Mercurial v4.5.3 and does not contain that requirement it fails:

```
hg identify --id
abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: sparserevlog!
(see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)
```

This commit disables that requirements to make the clone compatible with the
older version of Mercurial.

Closes #8995
