perf: don't depend on pycompat for older Mercurial versions

We already define local _sysstr() and _xrange() for compatibility, so
we should use those.

Also create a similar local _bytestr() corresponding to
pycompat.bytestr().

Testing that convert.hg.preserve-hash=true can be used to make hg
convert from hg repo to hg repo preserve hashes, even if the
computation of the files list in commits change slightly between hg
versions.

  $ cat <<'EOF' >> "$HGRCPATH"
  > [extensions]
  > convert =
  > EOF
  $ cat <<'EOF' > changefileslist.py
  > from mercurial import (changelog, extensions)
  > def wrap(orig, clog, manifest, files, *args, **kwargs):
  >   return orig(clog, manifest, [b"a"], *args, **kwargs)
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >   extensions.wrapfunction(changelog.changelog, 'add', wrap)
  > EOF

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo a > a; hg commit -qAm a
  $ echo b > a; hg commit -qAm b
  $ hg up -qr 0; echo c > c; hg commit -qAm c
  $ hg merge -qr 1
  $ hg commit -m_ --config extensions.x=../changefileslist.py
  $ hg log -r . -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  c085bbe93d59 ["a"]

Now that we have a commit with a files list that's not what the
current hg version would create, check that convert either fixes it or
keeps it depending on config:

  $ hg convert -q . ../convert
  $ hg --cwd ../convert log -r tip -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  b7c4d4bbacd3 []
  $ rm -rf ../convert

  $ hg convert -q . ../convert --config convert.hg.preserve-hash=true
  $ hg --cwd ../convert log -r tip -T '{node|short} {files|json}\n'
  c085bbe93d59 ["a"]
  $ rm -rf ../convert
