py3: have registrar process docstrings in bytes

Mixing bytes and unicode creates a mess. Do things in bytes as possible.

New sysbytes() helper only takes care of ASCII characters, but avoids raising
nasty unicode exception. This is the same design principle as sysstr().

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

import os
import sys

text = sys.argv[1]
fname = sys.argv[2]

f = open(fname, "ab")
try:
    before = os.fstat(f.fileno()).st_mtime
    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()
inc = 1
now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
    now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
