[PATCH] gitweb: make HTML links out of http/https URLs in changelogs

It is a common practice to put links to bugzillas, mailing lists, etc. in git log entries. The fact that gitweb doesn't make HTML links out of that URLs makes following those URLs inconvenient. This patch fixes that problem, trying to address cases when URL is enclosed in round or square brackets.

Slightly tested on http://git.openvz.org/. Applicable to git-1.4.4.
