http-backend: add GIT_PROJECT_ROOT environment var

Add a new environment variable, GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, to override the
method of using PATH_TRANSLATED to find the git repository on disk.
This makes it much easier to configure the web server, especially when
the web server's DocumentRoot does not contain the git repositories,
which is the usual case.

URL TRANSLATION
---------------
'git-http-backend' relies on the invoking web server to perform
URL to path translation, and store the repository path into the
PATH_TRANSLATED environment variable. Most web servers will do
this translation automatically, resolving the suffix after the
CGI name relative to the server's document root.
To determine the location of the repository on disk, 'git-http-backend'
concatenates the environment variables PATH_INFO, which is set
automatically by the web server, and GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, which must be set
manually in the web server configuration. If GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is not
set, 'git-http-backend' reads PATH_TRANSLATED, which is also set
automatically by the web server.
