histedit: byteify the help for the multifold action

While there's some allowance for str in `_()`, it's commented to be for "goofy
unicode docstrings in test", so no idea how well that works, but it should at
least come back as bytes.  With HGPLAIN, however, the str isn't touched and is
returned as-is, so this seems like a real bug.

# wait up to TIMEOUT seconds until a WAIT_ON_FILE is created.

# In addition, this script can create CREATE_FILE once it is ready to wait.

# If the test timeout have been extended, also scale the timer relative
# to the normal timing.
