hgweb: compatibility of hgweb.cgi template with Python 3
When running Mercurial on Python 3 hgweb expects the config variable to be a
bytestring.
The solution proposed by Anton Shestakov is to use a byteprefix to the literal
string defined cgi script as provided in this patch for hgweb.cgi,
contrib/hgweb.fcgi and contrib/hgweb.wsgi.
I am not sure whether this covers all relevant templates, but I couldn't find
others.

# An example WSGI for use with mod_wsgi, edit as necessary
# See https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/modwsgi for more information
# Path to repo or hgweb config to serve (see 'hg help hgweb')
config = b"/path/to/repo/or/config"
# Uncomment and adjust if Mercurial is not installed system-wide
# (consult "installed modules" path from 'hg debuginstall'):
#import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib")
# Uncomment to send python tracebacks to the browser if an error occurs:
#import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
# enable demandloading to reduce startup time
