py3: use pickle directly pycompat.pickle abstracted over the different pickle modules in Python 2 and 3. Now that we're Python 3 only, it is safe to use the `pickle` module directly. So this commit does that. As part of this we remove the rules from check-code.py that were forbidden direct pickle module use. We retain the `util.pickle` symbol for backwards compatibility, just in case some extensions were using it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12249

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
