hgweb: raw file mimetype guessing configurable, off by default (BC) (issue2923)
Before: hgweb made it possible to download file content with a content type detected from the file extension. It would serve .html files as text/html and could thus cause XSS vulnerabilities if the web site had any kind of session authorization and the repository content wasn't fully trusted. Now: all files default to "application/binary", which all important browsers will refuse to treat as text/html.
