[PATCH] gitweb: snapshot cleanups & support for offering multiple formats

From
Matt McCutchen <hashproduct@gmail.com>

Message-ID
<1183053733.6108.0.camel@mattlaptop2>
- Centralize knowledge about snapshot formats (mime types, extensions,
  commands) in %known_snapshot_formats and improve how some of that
  information is specified.  In particular, zip files are no longer a
  special case.
- Add support for offering multiple snapshot formats to the user so
  that he/she can download a snapshot in the format he/she prefers.
  The site-wide or project configuration now gives a list of formats
  to offer, and the "_snapshot_" link is replaced with, say,
  "snapshot (_tbz2_ _zip_)".
- Fix out-of-date "tarball" -> "archive" in comment.

I implemented this a while ago for my Web site.  You can see it in action at:
http://www.kepreon.com/~matt/mgear/mgear.git/

I thought I would submit it to the main project so you can adopt it if you like it.
