[PATCH 2/5] gitweb: prevent project search bar from overflowing on mobile

From: Rito Rhymes <rito@ritovision.com>

On narrow screens, the project search input can exceed the available width and force page-wide horizontal scrolling.

Add side padding to the search container and cap the input to its container width with border-box sizing, so the form stays within the viewport.
