py3: conditionalize the raise statement

raise E,V,T is not acceptable in Python 3, thats is conditionalized.
Moreover this will result in syntax error so we have to use exec() to
execute this. Related PEP- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3109/#id14

My implementation is motivated from the six implementation except they are
defining a new function exec_() to prevent adding an extra frame AFAIK :)

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
