doc/http-backend: give some lighttpd config examples 

The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's
at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an
authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with
anonymous read and authenticated write.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Lighttpd::
Ensure that `mod_cgi`, `mod_alias, `mod_auth`, `mod_setenv` are
loaded, then set `GIT_PROJECT_ROOT` appropriately and redirect
all requests to the CGI:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
alias.url += ( "/git" => "/usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/git" {
cgi.assign = ("" => "")
setenv.add-environment = (
"GIT_PROJECT_ROOT" => "/var/www/git",
"GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL" => ""
)
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
To enable anonymous read access but authenticated write access:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
$HTTP["querystring"] =~ "service=git-receive-pack" {
include "git-auth.conf"
}
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$" {
include "git-auth.conf"
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
where `git-auth.conf` looks something like:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
auth.require = (
"/" => (
"method" => "basic",
"realm" => "Git Access",
"require" => "valid-user"
)
)
# ...and set up auth.backend here
----------------------------------------------------------------
+
Note that unlike the similar setup with Apache, we can easily match the
query string for receive-pack, catching the initial request from the
client. This means that the server administrator does not have to worry
about configuring `http.receivepack` for the repositories (the default
value, which enables it only in the case of authentication, is
sufficient).
+
To require authentication for both reads and writes:
+
----------------------------------------------------------------
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/git/private" {
include "git-auth.conf"
}
----------------------------------------------------------------
