util: improved the check for the existence of the 'buffer' builtin

2to3 is unable to translate '__builtin__' calls to 'builtins' when
hasattr is used (as in hasattr(__builtin__, buffer)). Translating the
check to the format

try:
    whatever
except NameError
    # define whatever
    __builtin__.whatever = whatever

is a correct way of checking for the name and has the benefit of being
translated by 2to3. This patch implements the same idea for the
aforementioned example.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# This used to be a simple sed call like:
#
#  $ sed "s:$HGTMP:*HGTMP*:"
#
# But $HGTMP has ':' under Windows which breaks the sed call.
#
import sys, os

input = sys.stdin.read()
input = input.replace(os.sep, '/')
hgtmp = os.environ['HGTMP'].replace(os.sep, '/')
input = input.replace(hgtmp, '$HGTMP')
sys.stdout.write(input)
