hgweb: add .jshintrc with some basic rules This file is picked up automatically by jshint, so no extra changes required in test-check-jshint.t.

hgweb: look up "URLSearchParams" in "window" to work around jshint issues Unfortunately, current version of jshint (2.9.5) doesn't know such a global variable and complains that it's undefined. Since this line tries to look up URLSearchParams in a global scope (i.e. window), let's simply preface it with "window." to work around jshint.

hgweb: define locally used variables as actually local in mercurial.js Variables that are used or assigned without any declaration using var (or let, or const) are considered global. In many cases this is inadvertent and actually causes a variable leaking to a broader scope, such as a temporary variable used inside a loop suddenly being accessible in global scope. (This corresponds to "undef" option of jshint). So this patch limits the scope of variables that don't need to be global. There are a lot of helper variables in Graph.render() used in a loop, I've declared them all on one line to reduce patch size. "radius" is special because it wasn't passed to graph.vertex, but was used there (it worked because this variable leaked to global scope). "window.graph" is created by an inline script in graph.tmpl so that it can be used in ajaxScrollInit() function, this patch makes this fact explicit by assigning window.graph to a local variable.

hgweb: rename an instance of XMLHttpRequest to xhr in mercurial.js "xhr" is a really widespread name for this kind of things, no idea where did "xfr" come from (the original 2228bd109706 doesn't explain that). Let's just change one letter so the name makes more sense.

hgweb: properly iterate over arrays and objects in mercurial.js In JavaScript, using for-in loops to access every property of an object can have unexpected results when inheritance is involved. For example, if some piece of code adds a property (it may be a method too) to Object.prototype, then all for-in loops that iterate over keys of any object (also anything that inherits Object) will get that property on one of the iterations. To filter out such unexpected properties for-in loops have to use Object.hasOwnProperty() method. (This corresponds to "forin" option of jshint). In the two first cases "data" and "edges" are arrays, to it's simpler to just switch to using a regular for-with-a-counter loop.

hgweb: use strict equals in mercurial.js This patch changes "==" (equals operator) to "===" (strict equals operator). The difference between them is that the latter doesn't do any type coercions. It's handy to compare string '1' to number 1 sometimes, but most of the time using "==" is inadvertent and can be replaced by an explicit type conversion. (This corresponds to "eqeqeq" option of jshint). Some of the changes in this patch are straightforward, e.g. when comparing results of typeof (they could only be strings). The same goes for 'none' and similar strings that can't be sensibly coerced to some other type. Two changes that compare values to "1" and "0" can be clarified: getAttribute() returns either a string or null, but comparing null to a string is always false, so no logic is lost.
