[PATCH 2/3] gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic

From: Sebastien Cevey <seb@cine7.net>

Introduce a git_get_file_or_project_config utility function to retrieve a repository variable either from a plain text file in the $GIT_DIR or else from 'gitweb.$variable' in the repository config (e.g. 'description').

This would be used in next commit to retrieve category for a project, which is to be stored in the same way as project description.
