Summary

I'm not sure what changed before pytype 09-09-2021 (from 04-15-2021), but these
started getting flagged. This wrapping an exception in a bytestr pattern has
been flagged before, and I've fixed it then with stringutil.forcebytestr().
But that doesn't work here, because it would create a circular import.

I suspect the issue is bytes.__new__() wants Iterable[int], so it just
assumes the subclass will also take that. The referenced pytype bug isn't an
exact match, but seems related and the suggested workaround helps.

The specific warnings fixed are:

File "/mnt/c/Users/Matt/hg/mercurial/encoding.py", line 212, in tolocal: Function bytestr.__init__ was called with the wrong arguments [wrong-arg-types]
         Expected: (self, ints: Iterable[int])
  Actually passed: (self, ints: LookupError)
  Attributes of protocol Iterable[int] are not implemented on LookupError: __iter__
Called from (traceback):
