serve: remove connection close hack for Python 2.3 Introduced in 276de216d2c5 and no longer needed - BaseHTTPServer handles connection closing just fine if we don't mess with its internals.

hgweb: pass the actual response body to request.response, not just the length This makes it less likely to send a response that doesn't match Content-Length.

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.

hgweb: remove handling of any else than strings from request.write Iterators should be returned WSGI style, not written. And apparently all of hgweb do that.
