Victor Shnayder ed35cefa29 Fix html file handling.
* html files are now stored as follows:

If the html file is valid xml, store as html/stuff.xml

If it's not, store as html/stuff.xml, which contains
<html meta1="..."  filename="stuff.html">,
and html/stuff.html, which actually contains the contents.
Warn if the contents are not parseable with lxml's html parser,
but don't error.

* for parseable html, strip out the html tag when storing, so that it isn't
  rendered into the middle of a page

* lots of backcompat to deal with paths.  Can go away soon.

* fix output ordering in clean_xml
