py3: make stdout line-buffered if connected to a TTY

Status messages that are to be shown on the terminal should be written to the
file descriptor before anything further is done, to keep the user updated.

One common way to achieve this is to make stdout line-buffered if it is
connected to a TTY. This is done on Python 2 (except on Windows, where libc,
which the CPython 2 streams depend on, does not properly support this).

Python 3 rolls it own I/O streams. On Python 3, buffered binary streams can't be
set line-buffered. The previous code (added in 227ba1afcb65) incorrectly
assumed that on Python 3, pycompat.stdout (sys.stdout.buffer) is already
line-buffered. However the interpreter initializes it with a block-buffered
stream or an unbuffered stream (when the -u option or the PYTHONUNBUFFERED
environment variable is set), never with a line-buffered stream.

One example where the current behavior is unacceptable is when running
`hg pull https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg` on Python 3, where the line
"pulling from https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg" does not appear on the
terminal before the hg process blocks while waiting for the server.

Various approaches to fix this problem are possible, including:

1. Weaken the contract of procutil.stdout to not give any guarantees about
   buffering behavior. In this case, users of procutil.stdout need to be
   changed to do enough flushes. In particular,
  1. either ui must insert enough flushes for ui.write() and friends, or
  2. ui.write() and friends get split into flushing and fully buffered
     methods, or
  3. users of ui.write() and friends must flush explicitly.
2. Make stdout unbuffered.
3. Make stdout line-buffered. Since Python 3 does not natively support that for
   binary streams, we must implement it ourselves.

(2.) is problematic because using unbuffered I/O changes the performance
characteristics significantly compared to line-buffered (which is used on
Python 2) and this would be a regression.

(1.2.) and (1.3) are a substantial amount of work. It’s unclear whether the
added complexity would be justified, given that raw performance doesn’t matter
that much when writing to a terminal much faster than the user could read it.

(1.1.) pushes complexity into the ui class instead of separating the concern of
how stdout is buffered. Other users of procutil.stdout would still need to take
care of the flushes.

This patch implements (3.). The general performance considerations are very
similar to (1.1.). The extra method invocation and method forwarding add a
little more overhead if the class is used. In exchange, it doesn’t add overhead
if not used.


For the benchmarks, I compared the previous implementation (incorrect on Python
3), (1.1.), (3.) and (2.). The command was chosen so that the streams were
configured as if they were writing to a TTY, but actually write to a pager,
which is also the default:
HGRCPATH=/dev/null python3 ./hg --cwd ~/vcs/mozilla-central --time --pager yes --config pager.pager='cat > /dev/null' status --all

As expected, there’s no difference on Python 2, as exactly the same code paths

Copy x to y, then remove y, then add back y. With copy metadata in the
changeset, this could easily end up reporting y as copied from x (if we don't
unmark it as a copy when it's removed). Despite x and y not being related, we
want grafts to propagate across the rename.
