encoding: use range() instead of xrange()

Python 3 doesn't have xrange(). Instead, range() on Python 3
is a generator, like xrange() is on Python 2.

The benefits of xrange() over range() are when there are very
large ranges that are too expensive to pre-allocate. The code
here is only creating <128 values, so the benefits of xrange()
should be negligible.

With this patch, encoding.py imports safely on Python 3.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
