This allows to see full, unshortened value on mouseover using 'title' attribute for <td> element. For now it means only author name and project owner name.

Ugly solution using $cgi->start_td({-title => VALUE})

Doesn't work well with values outside us-ascii, but that might be considered web browser bug (misfeature), not a bug in gitweb.

--- The idea is to have full value available on mouseover, be it commit title, author of the commit, project owner, tag name/title or project description. For now only author name and project owner name are implemented, and implementation is ugly and results is not perfect.
