I dithered over calling It serve (which I did originally) and hgweb.

The current behavior results in garbage if your server is using
Japanese or similar localization.

This patch should still allow that if you pass --encoding to hg serve.

FWIW, To get localizations to display correctly will require more than
the series here, so it's ok if we don't take this step now. I can look
into it further later. This is my first round of looking at
serve/hgweb, I've mostly ignored it of late.
