py3: fix broken man page generation, it was generating `(default: NUL*)` `bytes(default)` was producing things like `(default: \x00)` when handed non-bytes values such as `1`, `10`, or `True`. The man page generation would apparently ignore these bytes and produce man pages that had the string `(default: )`. Test Plan: - Ran `cd doc; python3 gendoc.py "hg.1.gendoc"` and grepped for bad output - Ran `make deb`, extracted the deb, manually inspected `hg.1` file.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
