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.

#!/bin/sh

hg init
echo a > a
hg ci -Am t

hg mv a b
hg ci -Am t1
hg debugrename b

hg mv b a
hg ci -Am t2
hg debugrename a

echo % test with --rev
hg debugrename --rev 1 b
