hgweb: use templater on requestcontext instance

After this commit, all @webcommand function no longer use their
"tmpl" argument. Instead, they use the templater attached to the
requestcontext.

This is the same exact object. So there should be no difference in
behavior.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
