py3: introduce a wrapper for __builtins__.{raw_,}input()
In order to make this work, we have to wrap the io streams in a
TextIOWrapper so that __builtins__.input() can do unicode IO on Python
3. We can't just restore the original (unicode) sys.std* because we
might be running a cmdserver, and if we blindly restore sys.* to the
original values then we end up breaking the cmdserver. Sadly,
TextIOWrapper tries to close the underlying stream during its __del__,
so we have to make a sublcass to prevent that.
If you see errors like:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
On an input() or print() call on Python 3, the substitution of
sys.std* is probably the root cause.
A previous version of this change tried to put the bytesinput() method
in pycompat - it turns out we need to do some encoding handling, so we
have to be in a higher layer that's allowed to use
mercurial.encoding.encoding. As a result, this is in util for now,
with the TextIOWrapper subclass hiding in encoding.py. I'm not sure of
a better place for the time being.
