9a86dd5710 gitweb: Split JavaScript for maintability, combining on build
Split originally single gitweb.js file into smaller files, each
dealing with single issue / area of responsibility.  This move should
make gitweb's JavaScript code easier to maintain.

For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine
JavaScript files.  Do it during build time (in gitweb/Makefile), by
straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now
ignored as being generated).  This means that there are no changes to
gitweb script itself - it still uses gitweb.js or gitweb.min.js, but
now generated.
