util: wrap lines with multi-byte characters correctly (issue2943)

This re-introduces the unicode conversion what was lost in d320e70442a5 5 years
ago and had the comment:
  To avoid corrupting multi-byte characters in line, we must wrap
  a Unicode string instead of a bytestring.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
