[PATCH v3 (maint)] t/gitweb-lib: Don't pass constant to decode_utf8

From: Brian Gernhardt <brian@gernhardtsoftware.com>

Message-ID: <1287616030-88078-1-git-send-email-brian@gernhardtsoftware.com>
In-Reply-To: <201010202105.59370.jnareb@gmail.com>

Encode.pm started updating the string to decode in-place when a second argument is passed in version 2.40. This causes 'decode_utf8("", Encode::FB_CROAK)' to die with a message like:

Modification of a read-only value attempted at .../Encode.pm line 216.

Work around this by passing an empty variable instead of a constant string.
