tests: handle string escaping/encoding on Python 3

This code was failing on Python 3 for a few reasons:

1) sys.argv is str and str doesn't have a .decode()
2) the "string_escape" encoding was renamed to "unicode_escape"

It is wonky casting to bytes to str to bytes. But this is test
code, so meh. I don't believe we exercise any code paths in these
tests where the arguments aren't ascii.

Test issue2761

  $ hg init

  $ touch to-be-deleted
  $ hg add
  adding to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m first
  $ echo a > to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m second
  $ rm to-be-deleted
  $ hg diff -r 0

Same issue, different code path

  $ hg up -C
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ touch does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg add
  adding does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg ci -m third
  $ rm does-not-exist-in-1
  $ hg diff -r 1
