[PATCHv4] gitweb: fix wrong base URL when non-root DirectoryIndex

[Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>]

CGI::url() has some issues when rebuilding the script URL if the script
is a DirectoryIndex.

One of these issue is the inability to strip PATH_INFO, which is why
we had to do it ourselves.

Another issue is that the resulting URL cannot be used for the <base>
tag: it works if we're the DirectoryIndex at the root level, but not
otherwise.

We fix this by building the proper base URL ourselves, and improve the
comment about the need to strip PATH_INFO manually while we're at it.

Additionally t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh had to be modified
to set SCRIPT_NAME variable (CGI standard states that it MUST be set,
and now gitweb uses it if PATH_INFO is not empty, as is the case for
some of tests in t9500).

There was a bug in Jakub's rewritten logic for the PATH_INFO stripping:
using || instead of && meant that $my_uri was not being stripped if
$my_url was, resulting in wrong relative links all around. Instead, if
we can strip PATH_INFO from $my_url then we can (and must) strip it from
$my_uri too (&&), and then check for the definition of SCRIPT_NAME.

This patch also included a quoting patch that apparently didn't make it
to the list: the <base> tag was inserting a literal \n instead of a
newline. Since that line got rewritten anyway, I thought it wasn't a big
deal to squash it in.
