byteify-strings: add helpers to check for item access or method call These helpers will be used in a future patch, split for ease of review.

byteify-strings: add support for ignore comments Our simple token analysis is sometimes not clever enough, we need to be able to turn off our script for parts of the code. This change introduces three special comments: - `#no-py3-transform` to tell `byteify-strings` ignore the next line - `#py3-transform: off` to ignore everything until the end of the file - `#py3-transform: on` to stop ignoring The last two can be particularly useful within Python 2/3 compatibility files.

byteify-strings: handle triple quoted strings if they are not docstrings As with anything in this script, this is a best effort approach. Most of the time, when a triple quoted string is assigned to something, it's not a docstring.

byteify-strings: handle multi-line strings in _ensuresysstr The current implementation did not handle calls like `repo.ui.log("first line" "other line")` correctly.

fix: run fixer tools in the repo root as cwd so they can use the working copy This lets fixer tools do things like find configuration files, with the caveat that they'll only see the version of that file in the working copy, regardless of what revisions are being fixed.

config: add defaultvalue template keyword This patch tries to fix one of the issues mentioned in issue6014. This adds a new `defaultvalue` template keyword to be used with `hg showconfig` to get the default value of the config item. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6704
