[issue1477] hgwebdir needs to be reloaded to detect new repositories

[Paul Fisher]

New submission from Paul Fisher <pkf1214 at rit.edu>:

hgwebdir needs to be reloaded if the user adds a new repository.  This is not
good if you're automatically creating and removing repositories, unless you want
to run it under CGI (bad) or automatically restart the server every time (worse).

I committed a change to it here:
<https://sse.se.rit.edu/hg/public/pkf1214/hgweb-reload/>.  It rescans the
directories from the ini file after every request, but it's still significantly
faster than running as CGI.
