hgweb: emit a valid, weak ETag

Previously, ETag headers from hgweb weren't correctly formed, because rfc2616
(section 14, header definitions) requires double quotes around the content of
the header. str(web.mtime) didn't do that.

Additionally, strong ETags signify that the resource representations are
byte-for-byte identical. That is, they can be reconstructed from byte ranges if
client so wishes. Considering ETags for all hgweb pages is just mtime of
00changelog.i and doesn't consider of e.g. .hg/hgrc with description, contact
and other fields, it's clearly shouldn't be strong. The W/ prefix marks it as
weak, which still allows caching the whole served file/page, but doesn't allow
byte-range requests.
