url: always use str for proxy configuration

Previously, proxies didn't work on Python 3 for various reasons.

First, the keys to the "proxies" dict are fed into a
`setattr(self, "%s_open", ...)` call and passing bytestrings
results in setting an oddly named attribute due to the b''
in %s formatting. This resulted in "http_open" and "https_open"
not being properly overridden and proxies not being used.

Second, the standard library was expecting proxy URLs to be
str. And various operations (including our custom code in
url.py) would fail to account for the str/bytes mismatch.

This commit normalizes everything to str and adjusts our
proxy code in url.py to account for the presence of str
on Python 3.

Put here definitions of blacklists for run-tests.py

Create a file per blacklist. Each file should list the names of tests that you
want to be skipped.
File names are meant to be used as targets for run-tests.py --blacklist
option.
Lines starting with # are ignored. White spaces are stripped.

e.g. if you create a blacklist/example file containing:
 test-hgrc
 # some comment
 test-help
then calling "run-tests.py --blacklist blacklists/example" will exclude
test-hgrc and test-help from the list of tests to run.
