On Python 3 stdio objects can be None. That causes crashes. Fix it by opening
devnull automatically.
stdin can be None by using 0<&- in bash, or spawning processes less
carefully, for example, watchman used to cause such None stdin [1] (note:
None is only observable on Python 3).

I think it’s reasonable that Mercurial expects that the stdio streams are initialized properly. Is there a use case for running Mercurial with FDs 0, 1 or 2 set to non-standard streams?

This patch breaks my brain because our mucking about with sys.std* is wonky. We are doing really hacky things in both procutil.py and dispatch.py, including reassigning sys.std* in dispatch.py before this patch. I'd strongly prefer to have that logic consolidated.
As for the Python warning, that's super annoying. But I'm not sure we can do anything about that since we don't have an obvious place to insert an __exit__ handler. This is untested, but the best I can come up with is:
if not sys.stdin:
sys.stdin = open(os.devnull, 'r')
atexit.register(sys.stdin.close)
