obsolete: store user name and note in UTF-8 (issue5754) (BC)

Before, user names were stored in local encoding and transferred across
repositories, which made it impossible to restore non-ASCII user names on
different platforms. This patch fixes new markers to be encoded in UTF-8
and decoded back to local encoding when displaying. Existing markers are
unfixable so they may result in mojibake.

I don't like the API that requires metadata dict to be UTF-8 encoded, which
is a source of bugs, but there's no abstraction layer to process the encoding
thingy efficiently. So we apply the same rule as extras dict to obsstore
metadata.

Create a repo, set the username to something more than 255 bytes, then run hg amend on it.

  $ unset HGUSER
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
  > [ui]
  > username = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <[e-mail]>
  > [extensions]
  > amend =
  > [experimental]
  > evolution.createmarkers=True
  > evolution.exchange=True
