hgweb: ensure all wsgi environment values are str

Previously, we had a few entries that were bytes on Python 3.
PEP-0333 states that all entries must be the native str type
(bytes on Python 2, str on Python 3).

This required a number of changes to hgweb_mod to unbreak
things on Python 3. I suspect there still may be some regressions.

I'm going to introduce a data structure that represents a parsed
WSGI request in upcoming commits. This will hold bytes and will
allow us to stop using raw literals throughout the WSGI code.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
