hgweb: stop using HTML comments in <script>
Once upon a time, in 1995, there were browsers that didn't understand <script>
tags and they would simply show the code inside as text. This started a
tradition of wrapping everything inside <script> in <!-- HTML comments -->.
Nowadays, it's not only not needed, but can be considered harmful[1]:
- within XHTML documents, the source will actually be hidden from all browsers
and rendered useless
- `--` is not allowed within HTML comments, so any decrement operations in
script are invalid

#require no-pure
A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF
> import random
> for x in xrange(100000):
> print
> if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ $PYTHON ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ $PYTHON ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
