dirstate-v2: Use "byte sequence" in docs
The patch originally sent as https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11546
used "byte string" but that was changed during review to avoid suggesting
Unicode or character encodings.
However "byte range" sounds to be like a range of *indices* within a byte
string/sequence elsewhere.
This changes to "byte sequence". Python docs use "sequence" a lot when
discussing the `bytes` type: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges 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).
