Encode.pm started updating the string to decode in-place when a second
argument is passed in version 2.40.  This causes 'decode_utf8("",
Encode::FB_CROAK)' to die with a message like:

Modification of a read-only value attempted at
/Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm line
216.

Work around this by passing an empty variable instead of a constant
string.

 Changes since v1:
 - Use an explicitly empty variable instead of $_
 - Clearer commit message
 - CC people who worked on t/gitweb-lib.sh
 - based against maint
