py3: manually import pycompat.open into files that need it

We want to eliminate the source transformer. Currently it inserts
a `from mercurial.pycompat import ...` at the top of files to alias
some builtins.

This commit replaces the implicit import of `open` with an explicit
import on files that need it and changes the source transformer to
no longer import `open`.

As part of this, we needed to store an explicit local for `open` in
the Python 2 code path in `pycompat` so the import works. (Builtins
that are automatically in scope cannot be imported.)

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
