[issue46738] Allow http.server to emit HTML 5

[Tzu-ping Chung]

New submission from Tzu-ping Chung :

Currently, a directory listing page emitted by http.parser uses the HTML 4.01 
doctype. While this is perfectly fine for most uses, the server tool is 
sometimes used for things that require another doctype; PEP 503[1], for 
example, requires an HTML 5 document.

>From what I can tell, http.parser is already emitting a valid HTML 5 page, so 
>it should be possible to simply change the doctype declaration. Or, if 
>backward compatibility is paramount, this could live behind a --doctype flag 
>as well. If we go the latter route, more doctypes (e.g. XHTML) could 
>potentially be supported as well with minimal modification.
