convert: transcode CVS log messages by specified encoding (issue5597)

Converting from CVS to Mercurial assumes that CVS log messages in "cvs
rlog" output are encoded in UTF-8 (or basic Latin-1). But cvs itself
is usually unaware of encoding of log messages, in practice.

Therefore, if there are commits, of which log message is encoded in
other than UTF-8, log message of corresponded revisions in the
converted repository will be broken.

To avoid such broken log messages, this patch transcodes CVS log
messages by encoding specified via "convert.cvsps.logencoding"
configuration.

This patch accepts multiple encoding for convenience, because
"multiple encoding mixed in a repository" easily occurs. For example,
UTF-8 (recent POSIX), cp932 (Windows), and EUC-JP (legacy POSIX) are
well known encoding for Japanese.

#require no-pure

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:

  $ cat > s.py <<EOF
  > import random
  > for x in xrange(100000):
  >     print
  >     if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
  >         x += 1
  >     print hex(x)
  > EOF

  $ 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)
