There are cases when using user:password for /raw/... access is handy:

- when using query for auth (private_token) is not convenient for some
  reason (e.g. client processing software does not handle queries well
  when generating URLs)

- when we do not want to organize many artificial users and use their
  tokens, but instead just use per-project automatically setup

    gitlab-ci-token : <ci-token>

  artificial user & "password" which are already handled by auth backend
  for `git fetch` requests.

Handling is easy: if main auth backend rejects access, and there is
user:password in original request, we retry asking auth backend the way
as `git fetch` would do.

Access is granted if any of two ways to ask auth backend succeeds. This
way both private tokens / cookies and HTTP auth are supported.

In previous patch we added code to serve blob content via running `git cat-file
...` directly, but for every such request a request to slow RoR-based auth
backend is made, which is bad for performance.

Let's cache auth backend reply for small period of time, e.g. 30 seconds, which
will change the situation dramatically:

If we have a lot of requests to the same repository, we query auth backend only
for every Nth request and with e.g. 100 raw blob request/s N=3000 which means
that previous load to RoR code essentially goes away.

On the other hand as we query auth backend only once in a while and refresh the
cache, we will not miss potential changes in project settings. I mean potential
e.g. 25 seconds delay for a project to become public, or vise versa to become
private does no real harm.

The cache is done with the idea to allow the read side codepath to execute in
parallel and to be not blocked by eventual cache updates.

Overall this improves performance a lot:

Currently GitLab serves requests to get raw blobs via Ruby-on-Rails code and
Unicorn. Because RoR/Unicorn is relatively heavyweight, in environment where
there are a lot of simultaneous requests to get raw blobs, this works very slow
and server is constantly overloaded.

On the other hand, to get raw blob content, we do not need anything from RoR
framework - we only need to have access to project git repository on filesystem,
and knowing whether access for getting data from there should be granted or
not. That means it is possible to handle '.../raw/....' request directly
in more lightweight and performant gitlab-workhorse.

As gitlab-workhorse is written in Go, and Go has good concurrency/parallelism
support and is generally much faster than Ruby, moving raw blob serving task to
it makes sense and should be a net win.

In this patch: we add infrastructure to process GET request for '/raw/...':

- extract project / ref and path from URL
- query auth backend for whether download access should be granted or not
- emit blob content via spawning external `git cat-file`

I've tried to mimic the output to be as close as the one emitted by RoR code,
with the idea that for users the change should be transparent.

As in this patch we do auth backend query for every request to get a blob, RoR
code is still loaded very much, so essentially there is no speedup yet:

In the next patch we'll cache requests to auth backend and that will improve
performance dramatically.

NOTE 20160228: there is internal/git/blob.go trying to get raw data via
    gitlab-workhorse, but still asking Unicorn about blob->sha1 mapping
    etc. That work started in

        86aaa133 (Prototype blobs via workhorse, @jacobvosmaer)

    and was inspired by this patch. It goes out of line compared to what
    we can do if we serve all blob data just by gitlab-workhorse (see
    next patch), so we just avoid git/blob.go and put our stuff into
    git/xblob.go and tweak routes, essentially deactivating git/blob.go
    code.

Unset Content-Length for raw Git blobs
