hgweb: log error before attempting I/O

Previously, an uncaught exception during HTTP request serving would
attempt to send an error response then log the exception.

If an exception occurred during I/O, this exception would be
raised and the original exception wouldn't be logged.

This commit changes behavior so the original exception is logged
first, before we attempt to do anything else. This ensures the
exception is logged.

This change resulted in new tracebacks appearing in various tests.

Because tracebacks can vary between Python versions, we added a
simple script to filter the stack part of traceback lines. This
makes testing much simpler, as we don't need to glob over lines
and make lines conditional.
