Subject: support publicinbox.cgitrc directive

We can save admins the trouble of declaring [coderepo "..."]
sections in the public-inbox config by parsing the cgitrc
directly.

Macro expansion (e.g. $HTTP_HOST) expansion is not supported,
yet; but may be in the future.

+will be mapped to the nickname of a coderepo (without trailing slash),
+and "repo.path" directives map to "coderepo.<nick>.dir".
+Use of this directive allows admins of existing cgit installations
