[RFC/PATCH 1/3] gitweb: make suspenders more useful

In the first block of checks to validate a snapshot request, the last check is never executed because the second last check is a superset of the last check.

This change will switch the order of the last two checks, it has the advantage of giving clients a more specific reason why they cannot get a specific snapshot format instead of giving them the more generic response.
