obsolete: store user name and note in UTF-8 (issue5754) (BC)
Before, user names were stored in local encoding and transferred across
repositories, which made it impossible to restore non-ASCII user names on
different platforms. This patch fixes new markers to be encoded in UTF-8
and decoded back to local encoding when displaying. Existing markers are
unfixable so they may result in mojibake.
I don't like the API that requires metadata dict to be UTF-8 encoded, which
is a source of bugs, but there's no abstraction layer to process the encoding
thingy efficiently. So we apply the same rule as extras dict to obsstore
metadata.

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF

> x += 1
> print(hex(x))

$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ $PYTHON ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ $PYTHON ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
