[PATCH] gitweb: Teach "a=blob" action to be more lenient about blob/file mime type

[Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com>]

Since 930cf7dd7cc6b87d173f182230763e1f1913d319 'blob' action knows the
file type; if the file type is not "text/*" or one of common network
image formats/mimetypes (gif, png, jpeg) then the action "blob"
defaulted to "blob_plain".  This caused the problem if mimetypes file
was not well suited for web, for example returning "application/x-sh"
for "*.sh" shell scripts, instead of "text/plain" (or other "text/*").

Now "blob" action defaults to "blob_plain" ('raw' view) only if file
is of type which is neither "text/*" nor "image/{gif,png,jpeg}"
AND it is binary file.  Otherwise it assumes that it can be displayed
either in <img> tag ("image/*" mimetype), or can be displayed line by
line (otherwise).

The patch I've send earlier
  "[RFC/PATCH] gitweb: Try to sanitize mimetype for 'blob_plain' view"
  Message-Id: <1195484054-18164-1-git-send-email-jnareb@gmail.com>
should also do what this patch is about. This one however IMHO
is much less invasive, and much less controversial.

P.S. BTW is there some plumbing for scripts to help with
gitattributes, for example showing all gitattributes (or status of
selected attributes) for given path?
