py3: use pycompat.getcwd() instead of os.getcwd()

We have pycompat.getcwd() which returns bytes path on Python 3. This patch
changes most of the occurences of the os.getcwd() with pycompat one.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
