This is an instance where we can safely convert the first argument, rest are
the cases except one where we are using 'c' which is not there in Python 3. So
that needs to be handled differently. This will help in making `hg help` run on
Python 3.
Modern applications must use the following paths to store configuration files:
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hg/hgrc,
- $HOME/.config/hg/hgrc (if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset or not absolute).
For backward compatibility, ~/.hgrc is still created if no hgrc exist using hg
config --edit.

sys.platform returns unicode on python 3 world. Our code base has most of the
things bytes because of the transformer. So we have a bytes version of this as
pycompat.sysplatform. This series of 2 patches replaces occurences of
sys.platform with pycompat.sysplatform.
sys.argv returns unicodes on Python 3. We have pycompat.sysargv which returns
bytes encoded using os.fsencode(). After this patch scmposix.systemrcpath()
returns bytes in Python 3 world. This change is also a part of making
`hg version` run in Python 3.
It appears crecord.py has its own termsize() function. I want to get rid of it.
The fallback height is chosen from the default of cmd.exe on Windows, and
VT100 on Unix.
The array module must exist. It's sufficient to suppress the ImportError of
termios. Also salvaged the comment why we have to handle AttributeError, from
54db81f689bd.
I'm going to get rid of sys.stderr|out|in references from posix.termwidth().
In order to do that, termwidth() needs to take a ui, but functions in util.py
shouldn't depend on a ui object. So moves termwidth() to scmutil.py.
We are making sure that we deal with bytes as much we can. This is a part
of fixing functions so that they return bytes if they have to.
Used encoding.environ to return bytes.
After this patch, scmposix.userrcpath() returns bytes and scmutil.osrcpath()
will also return bytes if the platform is posix. Functions is scmposix returns
bytes on Python 3 now.
This parallels what's done for the util module, which imports either
mercurial.posix or mercurial.windows as 'platform' and then slurps the
appropriate functions into its own namespace.
