[PATCH v3 1/3] gitweb: fix #patchNN anchors when path_info is enabled

From: Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@gmail.com>

When $feature{'pathinfo'} is used, gitweb script sets the base URL to itself, so that relative links to static files work correctly. It does it by adding something like below to HTML head:

  <base href="http://HOST/gitweb.cgi">

This breaks the "patch" anchor links seen on the commitdiff pages, because these links, being relative (<a href="#patch1">), are resolved (computed) relative to the base URL and not relative to current URL, i.e. as:

  http://HOST/gitweb.cgi#patch1
Instead, they should look like this:
  http://HOST/gitweb.cgi/myproject.git/commitdiff/35a9811ef9d68eae9afd76bede121da4f89b448c#patch1

Add an "-anchor" parameter to href(), and use href(-anchor=>"patch1") to generate "patch" anchor links, so that the full path is included in the patch link.

While at it, convert
  print "foo";
  print "bar";
to
  print "foo" .
        "bar";
in the neighborhood of changes.

I like v2 version, and had only small corrections.  For you to not have
to resend this patch once again, I have added those corrections and sent
them as a patch myself.
Changes from original v2 version from Kevin Cernekee:
* Fix (re-add) accidentally lost in v2 '"<td class=\"link\">"' in first
  chunk using href(-anchor => ...)
* Reword commit message (hopefully make it better, and not only longer)
* Move code that sets implicit -replay when -anchor is the only parameter
  lower, and change order of subexpression, for better possible future
  extendability, if there would be other cases when we would want to 
  automatically turn on -replay.
* Change indenting of code (whitespace-only change).
* Add 'while at it' fixup.
