fadf8c7 (git_remote_helpers: force rebuild if python version changes, 2013-01-20)
started using a marker file to keep track of the version of Python interpreter
used for the last build, but forgot to remove it when asked to "make clean".

Using the approach detailed in the Python documentation[1], run 2to3 on
the code as part of the build if building with Python 3.

The code itself requires no changes to convert cleanly.

When different version of python are used to build via distutils, the
behaviour can change.  Detect changes in version and pass --force in
this case.

Although 2to3 will fix most issues in Python 2 code to make it run under
Python 3, it does not handle the new strict separation between byte
strings and unicode strings.  There is one instance in
git_remote_helpers where we are caught by this, which is when reading
refs from "git for-each-ref".

Fix this by operating on the returned string as a byte string rather
than a unicode string.  As this method is currently only used internally
by the class this does not affect code anywhere else.

Note that we cannot use byte strings in the source as the 'b' prefix is
not supported before Python 2.7 so in order to maintain compatibility
with the maximum range of Python versions we use an explicit call to
encode().

Change inline Python to call "print" as a function not a statement.

This is harmless because Python 2 will see the parentheses as redundant
grouping but they are necessary to run this code with Python 3.

Some python scripts we ship cannot be run with older versions of the
interpreter.

  Add checks to Python scripts for version dependencies.

Basically this is what we want:

  == pull ==

	testgit			transport-helper

	* export ->		import

	# testgit.marks		git.marks

  == push ==

	testgit			transport-helper

	* import		<- export

	# testgit.marks		git.marks

Each side should be agnostic of the other side. Because testgit.marks
(our helper marks) could be anything, not necessarily a format parsable
by fast-export or fast-import. In this test they happen to be compatible,
because we use those tools, but in the real world it would be something
completely different. For example, they might be mapping marks to
mercurial revisions (certainly not parsable by fast-import/export).

This is what we have:

  == pull ==

	testgit			transport-helper

	* export ->		import

	# testgit.marks		git.marks

  == push ==

	testgit			transport-helper

	* import		<- export

	# git.marks		testgit.marks

The only reason this is working is that git.marks and testgit.marks are
roughly the same.

This new behavior used to not be possible before due to a bug in
fast-export, but with the bug fixed, it works fine.

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Also add check_output from python 2.7.
