Be more careful about the use of repr() in error messages
Generally, we'd want to use str() rather than repr() in error messages
anyhow, as that explicitly gives something designed to be read by
humans.
Sometimes {!r} is being used as a shortcut to avoid writing the quotes
in '{!s}'.
Unfortunately, these things aren't quite the same, as the repr of a
string containing '\' (the path separator on Windows) will have those
escaped.
We don't have a good string representation to use for the arbitrary
internal object used as an argument for install_data() when it's neither
a string nor file (which doesn't lead to a good error message), so drop
that for the moment.
