dispatch: consolidate formatting of arguments This was getting done twice, and it's clever enough I'm about to split it apart and then fix it for Python 3.

py3: make the regular expression bytes to prevent TypeError

pager: flush outputs before firing pager process So that buffered outputs are always sent to the console.

patchbomb: use modern pager to display -n/--test result (BC) This should provide more consistent UX, but is a BC because the pager will no longer be fired up for each message.

httpconnection: make sure to clear progress of httpsendfile at EOF read() should never raise EOFError. If it did, UnboundLocalError would occur due to unassigned 'ret' variable. This issue was originally reported to TortoiseHg: https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/4707/

py3: convert log opts to bytes-key dict Now simple log command works.

graphlog: pass function arguments without expansion It's annoying on Python 3 because keys must be unicode type. Let's stop using **opts expansion when not necessary.

py3: call codecs.escape_decode() directly The same rule as 3b7a6941a6ef applies.

util: wrap s.decode('string_escape') calls for future py3 compatibility
