archival: force a `CompressionError` to bytes before passing to `error.Abort`

I'm not sure what changed before pytype 09-09-2021 (from 04-15-2021), but this
started getting flagged.

This fixes:

    File "/mnt/c/Users/Matt/hg/mercurial/archival.py", line 199, in taropen: Function bytestr.__init__ was called with the wrong arguments [wrong-arg-types]
             Expected: (self, ints: Iterable[int])
      Actually passed: (self, ints: tarfile.CompressionError)
      Attributes of protocol Iterable[int] are not implemented on tarfile.CompressionError: __iter__

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.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60

Build environment variables:

 * HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
   instead of "hg"
 * HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
   relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
   otherwise.
