shelve: choose a legal shelve name when no name is passed (issue5112) Currently if our branch name contains '\' or starts with '.', shelve chooses an illegal shelve name. This behaviour is not good as it itself is choosing something which it won't accept further. We can raise errors if user passes a name which is illegal. After this patch, if '\' is contained in branch name or bookmark name, it will be replaced by '_' while choosing a shelve name and if they starts with '.', the first '.' is replaced by '_'.

shelve: add tests to ensure illegal shelve names are avoided We avoid '.' as the first letter of shelve name so that we don't create hidden file. We also avoid slashes in name so that we don't form a new directory

py3: replace sys.executable with pycompat.sysexecutable sys.executable returns unicodes on Python 3. This patch replaces occurences of sys.executable with pycompat.sysexecutable.

py3: have bytes version of sys.executable sys.executable on Python 3 returns unicodes and we want bytes. So this patch adds a new pycompat.sysexecutable which returns bytes by encoding using os.fsencode() since it is path variable.

py3: use pycompat.getcwd instead of os.getcwd

py3: use python 3 compatible variables in hgext/fsmontor/__init__.py Earlier this was left thinking that its part of pywatchman package. This patch replaces variables os.sep, sys.platform and os.envrion with their py3 compatible ones.

py3: add warnings in check-code related to py3 We have our own bytes versions of things like, getopt.getopt, os.sep, os.name, sys.executable, os.environ and few more for python 3 portability. Its better to come up with warnings if someone breaks the things which we have fixed. After this patch, check-code will warn us to use our bytes version. These checks run on mercurial/ and hgext/ and pycompat.py is excluded.

py3: replace os.getenv with pycompat.osgetenv os.getenv deals with unicodes on Python 3, so we have pycompat.osgetenv to deal with bytes. This patch replaces occurrences on os.getenv with pycompat.osgetenv

py3: have bytes version of os.getenv os.getenv() on python 3 deals with unicodes. If we want to pass bytes. we have os.getenvb() which deals with bytes. This patch adds up a pycompat.osgetenv which deals with bytes on both python 2 and 3.

url: remove unnecessary deletion of environ variables while dealing with proxy Currently we delete proxy environment variables if ui.config contains proxy values. This is unnecessary because urllib2.ProxyHandler class only reads proxy from environment it is initialised by None. But url.py never passes None, so there is no point urllib2 will take environment variables in account. This also prevents deleting environment variables which is not safe. This code was introduced while resolving Bug 2451 even it is in one of comments (sixth one) on bug that we can safely remove this part. Link to bug : https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2451
