[PATCH] gitweb: provide a way to customize html headers

From

Message-ID
<201110162256.41431.lenaic@lhuard.fr.eu.org>

This allows web sites to add some specific html headers to the pages generated by gitweb.

The new variable $site_htmlheader can be set to a filename the content of which will be inserted at the end of the <head> section of each page generated by gitweb.
