[PATCH/RFCv2 5/5] gitweb: Highlight matched part of shortened project description

Previous commit make gitweb use esc_html_match_hl() to mark match in the _whole_ description of a project when searching projects.

This commit makes gitweb highlight match in _shortened_ description, based on match in whole description, using esc_html_match_hl_chopped() subroutine.

If match is in removed (chopped) part, even partially, then trailing "... " is highlighted.

This version removes code duplication from v1.

It is still marked as RFC, because I am not sure if it is right way to highlight match in shortened string, or if we better use full string, or full string if match is in chopped part.
