hgweb: extract path traversal checking into standalone function

A common exploit in web applications that access paths is to insert
path separator strings like ".." to try to get the server to serve up
files it shouldn't.

We have code for detecting this in staticfile(). A subsequent commit
will need to perform this test as well. Since this is security code,
let's factor the check so we don't have to reinvent the wheel.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# An example hgweb CGI script, edit as necessary
# See also https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/PublishingRepositories

# Path to repo or hgweb config to serve (see 'hg help hgweb')
config = "/path/to/repo/or/config"

# Uncomment and adjust if Mercurial is not installed system-wide
# (consult "installed modules" path from 'hg debuginstall'):
#import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib")

# Uncomment to send python tracebacks to the browser if an error occurs:
#import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
