Subject: ui-summary: Disallow directory traversal

Using the url= query string, it was possible request arbitrary files
from the filesystem if the readme for a given page was set to a
filesystem file. The following request would return my /etc/passwd file:

http://git.zx2c4.com/?url=/somerepo/about/../../../../etc/passwd
http://data.zx2c4.com/cgit-directory-traversal.png

This fix uses realpath(3) to canonicalize all paths, and then compares
the base components.

This fix introduces a subtle timing attack, whereby a client can check
whether or not strstr is called using timing measurements in order
to determine if a given file exists on the filesystem.

This fix also does not account for filesystem race conditions (TOCTOU)
in resolving symlinks.
