[PATCH 2/3] Add ability to authorize viewing a repository

[valentin.haenel at gmx.de (Valentin Haenel)]

This provides a mechanism for cgit to query an external program for repository
authorisation, e.g. gitolite. An additional config variable 'authorization'
contains the path and name of the executable to use.
