[RFC/PATCHv3 1/2] gitweb: Prepare for splitting gitweb

[Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com>]

Prepare gitweb for being split into modules that would be installed
in gitweblibdir, by default alongside gitweb in 'lib/' subdirectory.

Gitweb would search first in 'lib/' subdirectory from where it is
installed, via

  use lib __DIR__.'/lib';

(This allow for tests to work with source version of gitweb without
changes.)  Then it searches in $(gitweblibdir) directory (set during
build time), by default "$(gitwebdir)/lib", via

  use lib "++GITWEBLIBDIR++";

which is set to requested dir during building of gitweb.cgi.  Note
that 'use lib' assures no trailing duplicate entries in @INC.


This preparatory work allows to add new module to gitweb by simply
adding

  GITWEB_MODULES += <module>

to gitweb/Makefile (assuming that the module is in 'gitweb/lib/'
directory).


At Pavan Kumar Sankara suggestion gitweb/Makefile uses

  install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY

format (2nd format) with single SOURCE rather than

  install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

format (1st format) because of security reasons (race conditions).
Modern GNU install has `-T' / `--no-target-directory' option, but we
cannot rely that the $(INSTALL) we are using supports this option.

The install-modules target in gitweb/Makefile uses shell 'for' loop,
instead of make's $(foreach) function, to avoid possible problem with
generating a command line that exceeded the maximum argument list
length.


While at it pass GITWEBLIBDIR environment variable in addition to
GITWEB_TEST_INSTALLED down to $(MAKE) invocation in 'test-installed'
target.  This is to allow testing installed version of gitweb and
installed version of modules, for future tests which would check
individual gitweb (sub)modules.

* Lost update to gitweb/INSTALL about possibility of installing
  optional Perl modules for gitweb in 'lib/', alongside future
  gitweb modules.
