hgweb: raw file mimetype guessing configurable, off by default (BC) (issue2923)
Before: hgweb made it possible to download file content with a content type
detected from the file extension. It would serve .html files as text/html and
could thus cause XSS vulnerabilities if the web site had any kind of session
authorization and the repository content wasn't fully trusted.
Now: all files default to "application/binary", which all important
browsers will refuse to treat as text/html. See the table here:
