util: report integer result from write()

Python 2 sometimes returns None from write() calls. Python 3 doesn't.
This will make test output inconsistent between Python 2 and 3. So
let's paper over the differences by converting None to the length of
the result string.

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.
