hgweb: fallback to checking wsgireq.env for REPO_NAME for 3rd party hosting

Starting with d7fd203e36cc, SCM Manager began to 404 any repository access.
What's happening is that it is generating a python script that creates an hgweb
application (not hgwebdir), and launches hgweb via wsgicgi.  It must be setting
REPO_NAME in the process environment before launching this script, which gets
picked up and put into wsgireq.env when wsgicgi launches the hgweb application.
>From there, other variables (notably 'apppath' and 'dispatchpath') are
constructed differently.

  d7fd203e36cc^ (working):

    apppath: /hg/eng/devsetup
    dispatchpath:
    pathinfo: /eng/devsetup
    reponame: eng/devsetup

  d7fd203e36cc:

    apppath: /hg
    dispatchpath: eng/devsetup
    pathinfo: /eng/devsetup
    reponame: None
    REPO_NAME: eng/devsetup

Rather than having an existing installation break when Mercurial is upgraded,
just resume checking the environment.  I have no idea how many other hosting
solutions would break without restoring this.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
