The cgi module is marked as deprecated and will be removed in
python3.13. servefile uses the module for its FieldStorage class used in
the upload functionality. For now I will just ignore this, so servefile
doesn't print out the warning each time it is run, but soon this will
require either a rewrite of FieldStorage or an external library.
With this commit we also now officially support python3.10 and
python3.11.
When uploading larger files, cgi.FieldStorage decides to store the files
in an unnamed temporary file in /tmp while parsing the form-data. This
is counter-intuitive and might not work, if the partition hosting /tmp/
is too small. Therefore, we overwrite FieldStorage's make_file() method
to use the targetDir as upload path.
While we're at it, we also use NamedTemporaryFile instead of
TemporaryFile, because that lets us use os.link() to create a "copy" of
the file-data without writing it to disk a second time. This does not
work for small data, because small data is kept in an BytesIO object and
thus never written to file automatically. For this case, we keep the old
code, that's writing down files manually.
We have to inline-define CustomFieldStorage, because FieldStorage will
instantiate a new FieldStorage instance for parsing the parts of a
multipart/form-data body and thus we cannot pass targetDir via
__init__() argument.

File listings with -l that contained files with umlauts or other special
chars could break the directory listing. Hopefully one of the last
python2 fixes before I drop support for this.
servefile used to hint to install pyssl when ssl support was missing.
This is utterly wrong, because the package is named pyopenssl - as
stated in setup.py. Installing pyssl will not only not lead to ssl
support, but also install a random package that we do not want.
Also, since python2 has genereally been deprecated (though it is still
support by servefile for now) we hint for the python3 package of
pyopenssl instead of the python2 version. I thought about building a
version detection and print the right package, depending if the user is
using python2 or 3, but I deemed it not being worth it.

servefile is now a valid python package. The single servefile.py can
still be used as a script by just putting it into PATH and making it
executable. Additionally when installed via pip a wrapper script is
created, calling the module's main(). python -m servefile works as well.
