hgweb: use sslutil.wrapserversocket()

This patch transitions the built-in HTTPS server to use sslutil for
creating the server socket.

As part of this transition, we implement developer-only config options
to control CA loading and whether to require client certificates. This
eliminates the need for the custom extension in test-https.t to define
these.

There is a slight change in behavior with regards to protocol
selection. Before, we would always use the TLS 1.0 constant to define
the protocol version. This would *only* use TLS 1.0. sslutil defaults
to TLS 1.0+. So this patch improves the security of `hg serve` out of
the box by allowing it to use TLS 1.1 and 1.2 (if available).
