hgweb: handle exception of misconfigured path on index page

If hgweb.config contains wrong path mapping, hgweb causes internal server
error on repository index page.

This patch changes makeindex() to ignore RepoError, because it looks to be
designed to suppress configuration error.

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.
