[PATCHv1 2/2] gitweb: Serve */*+xml 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss

[Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com>]

Enhance usability of 'blob_plain' view protection against XSS attacks
(enabled by setting $prevent_xss to true) by serving contents inline
as safe 'text/plain' mimetype where possible, instead of serving with
"Content-Disposition: attachment" to make sure they don't run in
gitweb's security domain.

This patch broadens downgrading to 'text/plain' further, to any
*/*+xml mimetype.  This includes:

  application/xhtml+xml    (*.xhtml, *.xht)
  application/atom+xml     (*.atom)
  application/rss+xml      (*.rss)
  application/mathml+xm    (*.mathml)
  application/docbook+xml  (*.docbook)
  image/svg+xml            (*.svg, *.svgz)

Probably most useful is serving XHTML files as text/plain in
'blob_plain' view, directly viewable.

Because file with 'image/svg+xml' mimetype can be compressed SVGZ
file, we have to check if */*+xml really is text file, via '-T $fd'.
