py3: provide (del|get|has|set)attr wrappers that accepts bytes

These functions will be imported automagically by our code transformer.

getattr() and setattr() are widely used in our code. We wouldn't probably
want to rewrite every single call of getattr/setattr. delattr() and hasattr()
aren't that important, but they are functions of the same kind.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
