run-tests: handle --local before --with-hg

We no longer support them both together, so this is now safe to do. By
checking --local first, we avoid error out about an invalid --with-hg
script if --local was also given (we instead tell the user that the
options are mutually exclusive).

I also had to wrap the 'binpath' we pass to setattr() in _strpath() to
keep `python3 run-tests.py -l` working. That change also made `python3
run-tests.py -l --chg` work, which was the reason for this series.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
