hgweb: don't pass empty response chunks on

hgweb internals will often produce empty writes - especially when returning
compressed data.  hgweb is no middleware application and there is thus no
reason to pass them on to be processed in other layers.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
