py3: implement __bytes__() on most of our exception classes

We store bytes in exc.args, which should be translated to a byte string
without encode/decode dance.

IOError subclasses are unchanged for now. We'll need to decide how our
IOErrors should be caught.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
