[PATCHv3 3/4 (resent)] gitweb: Optionally add "git" links in project list page

This adds a "git" link for each project in the project list page, should a common $gitlinkurl_base be defined and not empty. The full URL of each link is composed of $gitlinkurl_base and project name. It is intended for git:// links, and in fact GITWEB_BASE_URL build variable is used as its default value only if it starts with git://

This does make the assumption that the git repositories share a common path. Nothing to date is known to actually make use of introduced link.

Created "git" link follows rel=vcs-* microformat specification:

I think it might be good idea... but for the fact "Nothing to date is
known to actually make use of introduced link".  What's its intended
use?
Differences to original version by John 'Warthog9' Hawley (J.H.):
* It doesn't cause syntax error ;-)
* Escaping of attribute value is left to CGI.pm (avoid double escaping)
* $gitlinkurl got renamed to $gitlinkurl_base, now includes git://
  prefix, and defaults to GITWEB_BASE_URL if it begins with git://
* Added description of $gitlinkurl_base to gitweb/README
* Uses rel=vcs-* microformat by Joey Hess

I assume that nobody sane would define $gitlinkurl_base to "0"; the code assumes that is enough to check that $gitlinkurl_base is true-ish.
