py3: byte-stringify literals in contrib/phabricator.py as example Transformed by contrib/byteify-strings.py and adjusted exceeded lines manually. Some of b''s would be wrong as the phabriactor extension has to work with JSON data. # skip-blame just many b prefixes

byteify-strings: do not rewrite iteritems() and itervalues() by default We can't do that automatically due to performance concerns.

byteify-strings: drop import-line hack This is ugly, and valid only for Python 3. We'll need to find a different way if we want to get rid of the code transformer at all.
