hgweb: support using new response object for web commands We have a "requestcontext" type for holding state for the current request. Why we pass in the wsgirequest and templater instance to @webcommand functions, I don't know. I like the idea of standardizing on using "requestcontext" for passing all state to @webcommand functions because that scales well without API changes every time you want to pass a new piece of data. So, we add our new request and response instances to "requestcontext" so @webcommand functions can access them. We also teach our command dispatcher to recognize a new calling convention. Instead of returning content from the @webcommand function, we return our response object. This signals that this response object is to be used for sending output. The keyword extension was wrapping various @webcommand and assuming the output was iterable, so we had to teach it about the new calling convention. To prove everything works, we convert the "filelog" @webcommand to use the new convention. The new calling convention is a bit wonky. I intend to improve this once all commands are ported to use the new response object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2786

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
