typing: add type hints to pycompat.bytestr

The problem with leaving pytype to its own devices here was that for functions
that returned a bytestr, pytype inferred `Union[bytes, int]`.  It now accepts
that it can be treated as plain bytes.

I wasn't able to figure out the arg type for `__getitem__`- `SupportsIndex`
(which PyCharm indicated is how the superclass function is typed) got flagged:

    File "/mnt/c/Users/Matt/hg/mercurial/pycompat.py", line 236, in __getitem__:
        unsupported operand type(s) for item retrieval: bytestr and SupportsIndex [unsupported-operands]
      Function __getitem__ on bytestr expects int

But some caller got flagged when I marked it as `int`.

There's some minor spillover problems elsewhere- pytype doesn't seem to
recognize that `bytes.startswith()` can optionally take a 3rd and 4th arg, so
those few places have the warning disabled.  It also flags where the tar API is
being abused, but that would be a tricky refactor (and would require typing
extensions until py3.7 is dropped), so disable those too.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
