py3: fix keyword arguments handling in mq This patch fixes the handling of keyword arguments to functions on Python 3. On python3, the keys of keyword arguments need to str which is unicode. So any keyword argument will get will have str keys and any dictionary we pass as kwargs must have all the keys as str. This patch uses pycompat.(strkwargs|byteskwargs) to do so conversion between bytes keys and str keys and use r'' if there are very less uses and conversion can be prevented.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
