filemerge: do what the context __bytes__ does, but locally str() here is clearly the wrong thing, and I think the code is clearer when it doesn't just depend on the magic __{str,bytes}__ behavior. I decided to grep around for \sstr\( and see what low-hanging fruit that showed me. This was part of that hunt. That grep pattern still has some things worth exploring.

py3: convert known-int values to bytes using %d I decided to grep around for \sstr\( and see what low-hanging fruit that showed me. This was part of that hunt. That grep pattern still has some things worth exploring. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2441

py3: hunt down str(exception) instances and use util.forcebytestr I decided to grep around for \sstr\( and see what low-hanging fruit that showed me. This was part of that hunt. That grep pattern still has some things worth exploring. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2440

commitextras: fix on Python 3 by using sysstrs for __dict__ ops I'm dubious of the __dict__ shenanigans in use here, but lack the enthusiasm for figuring out why that was done right now. # skip-blame just some r prefixes Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2435

util: use pycompat.bytestr() instead of str() This fixes at least some environment variable prints for util.system() callers on Python 3. Yay! Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2434

showconfig: allow multiple section.name selectors (issue5797) This seems useful and we can disambiguate the output format solely by the type of the command arguments.

showconfig: use set to filter sections and entry names Before, an entry matching the specified section could be printed twice if the selector wasn't unique. "sections" and "items" are renamed because it's hard to distinguish "sections" from the loop variable "section".

util: factor out shellsplit() function It turned out to be more than the simple posix=True|False flag, so let's introduce a platform function. I also made it py3 ready.
