hgweb: use a multidict for holding query string parameters My intention with refactoring the WSGI code was to make it easier to read. I initially wanted to vendor and use WebOb, because it seems to be a pretty reasonable abstraction layer for WSGI. However, it isn't using relative imports and I didn't want to deal with the hassle of patching it. But that doesn't mean we can't use good ideas from WebOb. WebOb has a "multidict" data structure for holding parsed query string and POST form data. It quacks like a dict but allows you to store multiple values for each key. It offers mechanisms to return just one value, all values, or return 1 value asserting that only 1 value is set. I quite like its API. This commit implements a read-only "multidict" in the spirit of WebOb's multidict. We replace the query string attributes of our parsed request with an instance of it.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
