encoding: use absolute_import

hg: establish function for performing post-share actions As part of writing an extension that wished to share an arbitrary piece of data among shared repos, I had to reimplement a significant part of hg.share in order to obtain localrepository instances for the source and destination. This patch establishes a function in hg.py that will be called after a share is performed. It is passed localrepository instances so extensions can easily perform additional actions at share time. We move hgrc and shared file writing there because this function is a logical place for it. A side effect of the refactor is writing of the shared file now occurs before updating. This seems more appropriate and shouldn't have any impact on real world behavior.

share: pass named arguments They are defined as named arguments and previous called as positional arguments. As part of wrapping hg.share in an extension, I had to extract arguments using some hacky techniques. Using named arguments makes wrapping much simpler.

commandserver: cut import cycle by itself We generally make modules importable from the front-end layer, dispatch -> commands -> x. So the import cycle to dispatch should be resolved by the commandserver module.

commandserver: use absolute_import

tests: histedit-helpers fixbundle should not complain about no input

tests: relax histedit issue4251 and issue3893 backups I'm globbing these because some are globbed, and this pair gets in the way of the main parts of the series.

setup.py: use bytes literals The b() helper was needed because Python < 2.6 didn't support bytes literals (b''). Now that we don't support Python < 2.6, we no longer need this helper.

clonebundles: fix typo

merge: rework manifestmerge to use a matcher This opens the door to working slightly more closely with the manifest type and letting it optimize out some of the diff comparisons for us, and also makes life significantly easier for narrowhg.
