[PATCHv7.1 2/4] gitweb: add output buffering and associated functions

[Jakub Narebski <jnareb@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: John 'Warthog9' Hawley <warthog9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This adds output buffering for gitweb, mainly in preparation for
caching support.  This is a dramatic change to how caching was being
done, mainly in passing around the variable manually and such.

This centrally flips the entire STDOUT to a variable, which after the
completion of the run, flips it back and does a print on the resulting
data.

This should save on the previous 10K line patch (or so) that adds more
explicit output passing.

[jn: modified reset_output to silence 'gitweb.perl: Name "main::STDOUT_REAL"
 used only once: possible typo at ../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 1130.' warning]

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>

This is unchanged from previous version.


Reminder: it uses

  open STDOUT, ">&", \*STDOUT_REAL;

rather than

  open(STDOUT,">&STDOUT_REAL");

to silence spurious (invalid) warning

  gitweb.perl: Name "main::STDOUT_REAL" used only once: possible typo
  at ../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 1130.
