[PATCHv2] git-instaweb: Add option to reuse previous config file

From

Add an option to git-instaweb which allows the usage of the old gitweb_config.perl situated in '.git/gitweb' dir. When the option is in use, gitweb_config.perl generated by git-instaweb won't be overwritten.

Usage:
	git instaweb --reuse-config
Example:
	When I use git-instaweb, it is tiring to add customised
configuration (like highlight featues enabling) to the gitweb_config.perl
file everytime I initiate the server. With this,it's enough to use
this option.
