convert: bail out in Subversion source if encountering non-ASCII HTTP(S) URL

Before this patch, in the tested case, urllib raised `httplib.InvalidURL: URL
can't contain control characters. '/\xff/!svn/ver/0/.svn' (found at least
'\xff')`, which resulted in that the URL was never recognized as a Subversion
repository.

This patch adds a check that bails out if the URL contains non-ASCII characters.
The warning is not overly user-friendly, but giving the user something to type
into a search engine is definitively better than not explaining why the
repository was not recognized.

We could support non-ASCII chracters by quoting them before passing them to
urllib. However, we would want to be compatible with what the `svn` command
does, which converts the URL from the locale encoding to UTF-8, percent-encodes
it and sends it to the server. If the locale encoding is not UTF-8, the
behavior is IMHO not very intuitive, as the `svn` command may send different
(percent-encoded) octets than what was passed on the console. Instead of
copying this behavior, we better leave it forbidden.

# Balto (https://bitbucket.org/lothiraldan/balto/src) is a test orchestrator
# which is compatible with all test runner that can emit the LITF
# (https://github.com/lothiraldan/litf) test format.

# The plugin for the Mercurial test runner is mercurial-litf
# (https://pypi.org/project/mercurial-litf/). Make sure to follow the
# instruction and configuration instructions here:
# https://bitbucket.org/lothiraldan/mercurial_litf/src/default/

# You can launch Balto with `balto /path/to/mercurial/tests/`
