use untrusted settings in hgweb

The only exceptions are web.static and web.templates, since they can
be used to get any file that is readable by the user running the CGI
script.

Other options can be (ab)used to increase the use of the cpu
(allow_bz2) or of the bandwidth (server.uncompressed), but they're
trusted anyway.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
