encoding: avoid quadratic time complexity when json-encoding non-UTF8 strings

Apparently the code uses "+=" with a bytes object, which is linear-time, so the
whole encoding is quadratic-time. This patch makes us use a bytearray object,
instead, which has a(n amortized-)constant-time append operation.

The encoding is still not particularly fast, but at least a 10MB file
takes tens of seconds, not many hours to encode.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.

# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
