py3: use pycompat.fsencode() to convert __file__ to bytes __file__ returns unicodes on Python 3. This patch uses pycompat.fsencode() to convert them to bytes.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
