run-tests: fix Python 3 incompatibilities

At one point run-tests.py and test-run-tests.t worked and passed
under Python 3.5. Various changes to run-tests.py over the past
several months appear to have broken Python 3.5 compatibility.

This patch implements various fixes (all related to str/bytes type
coercion) to make run-tests.py and test-run-tests.t mostly work
again. There are still a few failures in test-run-tests.t due to
issues importing mercurial.* modules. But at least run-tests.py
seems to work under 3.5 again.

  $ hg init
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Ama
  adding a

  $ echo b > b
  $ hg branch b
  marked working directory as branch b
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -Amb
  adding b

  $ hg co -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Fast-forward:

  $ hg merge b
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ hg ci -Ammerge

Bogus fast-forward should fail:

  $ hg merge b
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect

Even with strange revset (issue4465)

  $ hg merge ::.
  abort: merging with a working directory ancestor has no effect
