[PATCH GSoC 1/4] gitweb: Move static files into seperate subdirectory

Create a new subdirectory called 'static' in gitweb/, and move all static files required by gitweb.cgi when running, which means styles, images and Javascript code. This should make gitweb more readable and easier to maintain.

Update t/gitweb-lib.sh to reflect this change.The install-gitweb now also include moving of static files into 'static' subdirectory in target directory: update Makefile, gitweb's INSTALL, README and Makefile accordingly.
