hgweb: properly iterate over arrays and objects in mercurial.js In JavaScript, using for-in loops to access every property of an object can have unexpected results when inheritance is involved. For example, if some piece of code adds a property (it may be a method too) to Object.prototype, then all for-in loops that iterate over keys of any object (also anything that inherits Object) will get that property on one of the iterations. To filter out such unexpected properties for-in loops have to use Object.hasOwnProperty() method. (This corresponds to "forin" option of jshint). In the two first cases "data" and "edges" are arrays, to it's simpler to just switch to using a regular for-with-a-counter loop.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
