hgweb: fix websub regex flag syntax on Python 3
The `websub` config section for hgweb is broken under Python 3
when using regex flags syntax (ie the optional `i` in the example
from `hg help config.websub`:
patternname = s/SEARCH_REGEX/REPLACE_EXPRESSION/[i]
Flags are pulled out of the specified byte-string using a regular
expression, and uppercased. The flags are then iterated over and
passed to the `re` module using `re.__dict__[item]`, to get the
object attribute of the same name from the `re` module. So on Python
2 if the `il` flags are passed, this transition looks like:
`'il'` -> `'IL'` -> `'I'` -> `re.__dict__['I']` -> `re.I`
However on Python 3, these are bytes objects. When we iterate over
a bytes object in Python 3, instead of getting the individual characters
in the string as string objects of length one, we get the integer \
value corresponding to that byte. So the same transition looks like:
`b'il'` -> `b'IL'` -> `73` -> `re.__dict__[73]` -> `KeyError`
This commit fixes the type mismatch by converting the bytes to a
system string before iterating over each element to pass to `re`.
The transition will now look like:
`b'il'` -> `u'IL'` -> `u'I'` -> `re.__dict__[u'I']` -> `re.I`
In addition we expand `test-websub.t` to cover the regex flag case
(for both the `websub` section and `interhg`).
