perhaps time to remove git_blame from gitweb, and git-annotate?

It's been a while since we lost git_blame from %actions list. I am wondering maybe it's time to remove it, after 1.4.3 happens.

While I was looking at it, I noticed that it would make git-cvsserver the last in-tree user of git-annotate. As I understand it, "git-blame -c" should produce compatible output to the command, so it might also be a good time to consider removal of git-annotate as well while updating git-cvsserver to use git-blame instead of it.

Do people have reason to favor annotate over blame? To keep existing people's scripts working I think we should add a small amount of code to blame.c to default to compatibility mode when the command is called as git-annotate at least for a while, but other than that I do not see much issue against scheduling for annotate's removal.

I am not going to do anything about this right now (the "master" branch is in freeze-and-stabilize phase), but if people have issues I overlooked, raise hands now please?
