wireproto: convert python literal to object without using unsafe eval()

Follows up cc5a040fe150.

At this point, I don't think we need a real eval(). If we want to support
a set literal, maybe we can vendor ast.literal_eval(), which is relatively
simple function.

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

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.
