Currently it only contains information about output format, and is not used anywhere. It will be used to check whether current action produces HTML output, and therefore is displaying HTML-based progress info about (re)generating cache makes sense.

It can contain information about allowed extra options, whether to display link to feed (Atom or RSS), etc. in easier and faster way than listing all matching or all non-matching actions at appropriate place.

Currently not used; will be used in next commit, to check if action produces HTML output and therefore we can use HTML-specific progress indicator.

While it is patch preparing infrastructure to be used by progress
indicator (generating info), it is IMHO a good idea in itself, and
that is why it is not marked as RFC.
This patch is the same as in the previous version.
It has no equivalent in "Gitweb cachning v7" series by J.H.
