hgweb: don't redundantly pass templater with requestcontext (API)

The requestcontenxt has a ``tmpl`` attribute to access the
templater. We don't need to pass the templater explicitly when
passing a requestcontext instance.

.. api::

   Various helper functions in hgweb.webutil no longer accept a
   templater instance. Access the templater through the
   ``web`` argument instead.

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.
