hgweb: support Content Security Policy

Content-Security-Policy (CSP) is a web security feature that allows
servers to declare what loaded content is allowed to do. For example,
a policy can prevent loading of images, JavaScript, CSS, etc unless
the source of that content is whitelisted (by hostname, URI scheme,
hashes of content, etc). It's a nifty security feature that provides
extra mitigation against some attacks, notably XSS.

Mitigation against these attacks is important for Mercurial because
hgweb renders repository data, which is commonly untrusted. While we
make attempts to escape things, etc, there's the possibility that
malicious data could be injected into the site content. If this happens
today, the full power of the web browser is available to that
malicious content. A restrictive CSP policy (defined by the server
operator and sent in an HTTP header which is outside the control of
malicious content), could restrict browser capabilities and mitigate
security problems posed by malicious data.

CSP works by emitting an HTTP header declaring the policy that browsers
should apply. Ideally, this header would be emitted by a layer above
Mercurial (likely the HTTP server doing the WSGI "proxying"). This
works for some CSP policies, but not all.

For example, policies to allow inline JavaScript may require setting
a "nonce" attribute on <script>. This attribute value must be unique
and non-guessable. And, the value must be present in the HTTP header
and the HTML body. This means that coordinating the value between
Mercurial and another HTTP server could be difficult: it is much
easier to generate and emit the nonce in a central location.

This commit introduces support for emitting a
Content-Security-Policy header from hgweb. A config option defines
the header value. If present, the header is emitted. A special
"%nonce%" syntax in the value triggers generation of a nonce and
inclusion in <script> elements in templates. The inclusion of a
nonce does not occur unless "%nonce%" is present. This makes this
commit completely backwards compatible and the feature opt-in.

The nonce is a type 4 UUID, which is the flavor that is randomly
generated. It has 122 random bits, which should be plenty to satisfy
the guarantees of a nonce.

Configure CSP without nonce

  $ cat >> web.conf << EOF

  > EOF

  $ hg serve -p $HGPORT -d --pid-file=hg.pid --web-conf web.conf

repo index should send Content-Security-Policy header when enabled

repo page should send CSP by default, include etag w/o nonce

  200 Script output follows

  etag: W/"*" (glob)

nonce should not be added to html if CSP doesn't use it

  $ get-with-headers.py localhost:$HGPORT repo1/graph/tip | egrep 'content-security-policy|<script'
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/repo1/static/mercurial.js"></script>
  <!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript" src="/repo1/static/excanvas.js"></script><![endif]-->

Configure CSP with nonce

  $ killdaemons.py
  $ cat >> web.conf << EOF

  > EOF

  $ hg serve -p $HGPORT -d --pid-file=hg.pid --web-conf web.conf
  $ cat hg.pid > $DAEMON_PIDS

nonce should be substituted in CSP header

  $ get-with-headers.py --headeronly localhost:$HGPORT '' content-security-policy etag
  200 Script output follows

nonce should be included in CSP for static pages

  $ get-with-headers.py --headeronly localhost:$HGPORT static/mercurial.js content-security-policy etag

repo page should have nonce, no ETag

  $ get-with-headers.py --headeronly localhost:$HGPORT repo1 content-security-policy etag
  200 Script output follows
  content-security-policy: image-src 'self'; script-src https://example.com/ 'nonce-*' (glob)

hgweb_mod w/o hgwebdir works as expected
