Summary: HyperArch.py multibyte charset

Initial Comment:
HyperArch.py in 2.1b5 use Utils.uquote() for
CGIescape() and html_quote() but it does not take
language argument. This  is no good for multilbyte
charset because characters are escaped in separate 8bit
bytes which results in mojibake.
We should rather use Utils.uncanonstr() to honor the
legal characters within the multibyte charset.
This patch fixes other minor bugs in the current code.

Tokio, can you please explain the problem in more detail?
Utils.uquote will always return 7bit strings only,
potentially with nested HTML character references. Why could
this cause a problem in a multi-byte encoding? Can you refer
to a page that looks incorrectly because of that?

Here's a new version of the patch that applies cleanly to
current cvs.  I'm not sure I'm testing it well enough, so
could you take a look?
