hg: convert an exception to bytes in the repo creation exception handler

Caught by pytype:

    File "/mnt/c/Users/Matt/hg/mercurial/hg.py", line 77, in _local: Function _bytestr.__init__ was called with the wrong arguments [wrong-arg-types]
             Expected: (self, ints: Iterable[int])
      Actually passed: (self, ints: Union[TypeError, ValueError])
