procutil: make mercurial.utils.procutil.stderr unbuffered

For most Mercurial code, it doesn’t make a difference, as the ui object flushes
stderr explicitly (after the change, we could get rid of the explicit flush).
One example where it makes a observable difference is mercurial.util.timed().
Without the patch, the time is not immediately shown on Python 3. With the
patch, it’s shown immediately on all Python versions and platforms.

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.
