procutil: make _make_write_all() function private Because this function isn’t meant for general use (e.g., it’s Python 2-only), make in a module-private function by prefixing it with `_`.

dispatch: handle late KeyboardInterrupt occurred in run() User can press Ctrl+C while flushing streams in dispatch.run(). In such case, I think exiting with 255 is better than printing Python traceback and exiting with 1.

dispatch: indent run() function I'll add KeyboardInterrupt handling there.

debuginstall: don't translate encoding messages While Microsoft trained us to read mojibake text, it doesn't make sense to print mojibake messages when debugging the exact issue.

patch: refactor content diffing part in separate fn so extensions can wrap Right now extdiff uses it's own logic using archival to diff two versions of file using external diff tools. This makes the extdiff functionality non-extensible. This series is an attempt to refactor core patch and diff functionality so that extdiff can wrap and reuse it. This will help us in using external diffing tools at more places and not just extdiff command only then. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8685

tests: check that procutil.std{out,err}.write() returns correct result On Windows, we currently don’t fully test the case when the stream is connected to a TTY, but we test the child process side by connecting them to NUL, which is recognized as a TTY by Python. To make the large write test a bit more useful besides checking that it doesn’t crash, we can check that the write() method returns the correct result.

tests: add tests for when stdout or stderr is connected to `os.devnull` The original motivation was that creating PTYs on Windows is not possible, but `NUL` is recognized as a TTY, so we can have at least some test coverage for the TTY case. I think it doesn’t hurt to run the test cases on all systems.

procutil: ensure that procutil.std{out,err}.write() writes all bytes Python 3 offers different kind of streams and it’s not guaranteed for all of them that calling write() writes all bytes. When Python is started in unbuffered mode, sys.std{out,err}.buffer are instances of io.FileIO, whose write() can write less bytes for platform-specific reasons (e.g. Linux has a 0x7ffff000 bytes maximum and could write less if interrupted by a signal; when writing to Windows consoles, it’s limited to 32767 bytes to avoid the "not enough space" error). This can lead to silent loss of data, both when using sys.std{out,err}.buffer (which may in fact not be a buffered stream) and when using the text streams sys.std{out,err} (I’ve created a CPython bug report for that: https://bugs.python.org/issue41221). Python may fix the problem at some point. For now, we implement our own wrapper for procutil.std{out,err} that calls the raw stream’s write() method until all bytes have been written. We don’t use sys.std{out,err} for larger writes, so I think it’s not worth the effort to patch them.

procutil: move assignments This should probably be part of the previous patch, but folding it results in a less useful word diff, so I decided to keep it separate for review.
