templatefilters: make json filter be byte-transparent (BC) (issue4926)

This is necessary to preserve filename encoding over JSON. Instead, this
patch inserts "|utf8" where non-ascii local-encoding texts can be passed
to "|json".

See also the commit that introduced "utf8" filter.

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.
