    bugs2html: Fix HTML entity handling.
    
    Entities like < and > in bug files were being translated to
    literal '<' and '>' in the HTML output.
    
    While browsers could often display the resulting dodgy HTML the way it
    was intended, in some cases the result looked enough like a tag to cause
    misrendering.
    
    Fixed with the 'convert_charrefs' argument to html.parser.HTMLParser.
    (Added in Python 3.4, so should be safe enough to rely on. The default
    changed in 3.5, which might be why we have this bug.)
    
    I noticed this because it seriously mangled 'vuln-chm-hijack', but I
    found noticeable errors with Firefox with at least the following bug
    records (there are probably more):
    vt-utf8-keyboard
    multi-key
    ssh-stuck-queue
    x11-auth
    rdesktop-paste-hang
    ssh2-keyderive-nonbug
    ntpd-slowdown
