procutil: ensure that procutil.std{out,err}.write() writes all bytes

Python 3 offers different kind of streams and it’s not guaranteed for all of
them that calling write() writes all bytes.

When Python is started in unbuffered mode, sys.std{out,err}.buffer are
instances of io.FileIO, whose write() can write less bytes for
platform-specific reasons (e.g. Linux has a 0x7ffff000 bytes maximum and could
write less if interrupted by a signal; when writing to Windows consoles, it’s
limited to 32767 bytes to avoid the "not enough space" error). This can lead to
silent loss of data, both when using sys.std{out,err}.buffer (which may in fact
not be a buffered stream) and when using the text streams sys.std{out,err}
(I’ve created a CPython bug report for that:
https://bugs.python.org/issue41221).

Python may fix the problem at some point. For now, we implement our own wrapper
for procutil.std{out,err} that calls the raw stream’s write() method until all
bytes have been written. We don’t use sys.std{out,err} for larger writes, so I
think it’s not worth the effort to patch them.

"""Tool read primitive events from a pipe to produce a catapult trace.

Usage:
    Terminal 1: $ catapipe.py /tmp/mypipe /tmp/trace.json
    Terminal 2: $ HGCATAPULTSERVERPIPE=/tmp/mypipe hg root
    <ctrl-c catapipe.py in Terminal 1>
    $ catapult/tracing/bin/trace2html /tmp/trace.json  # produce /tmp/trace.html
    <open trace.html in your browser of choice; the WASD keys are very useful>
    (catapult is located at https://github.com/catapult-project/catapult)

For now the event stream supports

  START $SESSIONID ...

and

  END $SESSIONID ...

events. Everything after the SESSIONID (which must not contain spaces)
is used as a label for the event. Events are timestamped as of when
they arrive in this process and are then used to produce catapult
traces that can be loaded in Chrome's about:tracing utility. It's
important that the event stream *into* this process stay simple,
because we have to emit it from the shell scripts produced by
run-tests.py.

Typically you'll want to place the path to the named pipe in the
HGCATAPULTSERVERPIPE environment variable, which both run-tests and hg
understand. To trace *only* run-tests, use HGTESTCATAPULTSERVERPIPE instead.
