hgweb: refactor 304 handling code

We had generic code in wsgirequest for handling HTTP 304 responses.
We also had a special case for it in the catch all exception handler
in the WSGI application.

We only ever raise 304 in one place. So, we don't need to treat it
specially in the catch all exception handler.

But it is useful to validate behavior of 304 responses. We port the
code that sends a 304 to use the new response API. We then move the
code for screening 304 sanity into the new response API.

As part of doing so, we discovered that we would send
Content-Length: 0. This is not allowed. So, we fix our response code
to not emit that header for empty response bodies.

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).
