util: restore the util.pickle symbol

This was accidently dropped in df56e6bd37f6, which started importing pickle
directly.  That commit explicitly says it will retain it for compatibility with
external stuff though.

The unused import in pycompat isn't flagged because that module is skipped.
Just importing with a comment seemed cleaner than `import X as Y` and then
assigning to a `pickle` variable, just to avoid the pyflakes warning.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12419

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
