rhg: reduce verbosity in path_encode by using a trait for writing
Hopefully this makes the code easier to read and understand and
shorter overall.
It also lets us later tweak the type we use as a [Sink],
without having to change the encoding functions, including using
two different types for size measurement and for the actual
serialization.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
