gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript

The new 'blame_incremental' view requires JavaScript to run.  Not all
web browsers implement JavaScript (e.g. text browsers such as Lynx),
and not all users have JavaScript enabled.  Therefore instead of
unconditionally linking to 'blame_incremental' view, we use JavaScript
to convert those links to lead to view utilizing JavaScript, by adding
'js=1' to link.

Currently the only action that takes 'js=1' into account is 'blame',
which then acts as if it was called as 'blame_incremental' action.
Possible enhancement would be to do JavaScript redirect by setting
window.location instead of modifying $format and $action in
git_blame_common() subroutine.

The only JavaScript-aware/using view is currently 'blame_incremental'.
While at it move reading JavaScript to git_footer_html() subroutine.
Note that in this view we do not add 'js=1' currently (even though
perhaps we should; note that for consistency we should also add 'js=1'
in links added by JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental').

This idea was originally implemented by Petr Baudis in
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47614
but it added <script> element with fixBlameLinks() function in page
header, to be added as onload event using 'onload' attribute of HTML
'body' element: <body onload="fixBlameLinks();">.  This version adds
script at then end of page (in the page footer), and uses JavaScript
'window.onload=fixLinks();'.  Also in Petr version only links marked
with 'blamelink' class were modified, and they were modified by
replacing "a=blame" by "a=blame_incremental"... which doesn't work for
path_info links, and might replace wrong part if there is "a=blame" in
project name, ref name or file name.

Slightly different solution was implemented by Martin Koegler in
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47902/focus=47905
Here GitAddLinks() function was in gitweb.js file, not as contents of
<script> element.  It was also included in page header (in <head>
element) though, which means waiting for a script to load (and run).
It was smarter in that to "fix" (modify) link, it split URL, modified
value of 'a' parameter, and then recreated modified link.  It avoids
trouble with "a=blame" as substring in project name or file name, but
it doesn't work with path_info URL/link in the way it was written.
