pycompat: alias urlreq.unquote to unquote_to_bytes

Previously, urlreq.unquote aliased to urllib.parse.unquote,
which returned a str/unicode. We like bytes, so switch urlreq.unquote
to dispatch to urllib.parse.unquote_to_bytes.

This required a minor helper function to register an alias under a
different name from which it points. If this turns into a common
pattern, we could likely teach _registeralias to accept tuple
values defining the mapping. Until then, I didn't feel like
adding complexity to _registeralias.

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
