help: fix a py3 error interpolating Set into b'%s'

I can't reproduce it, but a coworker hit this with `hg help -v` with 6.2.3:

    ...
      File "mercurial\help.pyc", line 865, in helplist
    TypeError: %b requires a bytes-like object, or an object that implements __bytes__, not 'set'

I can confirm that the original expression fails in `hg debugshell`, and the new
one works.  The second instance was found by searching for "%s", but PyCharm
detects a lot of variables as Any type, so I have no idea if there are other
lurking problems.

Mercurial evolves over time, some features, options, commands may be replaced by
better and more secure alternatives. This topic will help you migrating your
existing usage and/or configuration to newer features.
