cgit.c: improve error message when git repo cannot be accessed
The current 'Not a git repository' error message is not very helpful, since it doesn't state the cause of the problem. This patch uses errno to provide a hint of the underlying problem. It would have been even better to give the exact cause (e.g. for ENOENT it would be nice to know which file/directory is missing), but that would require reimplementing setup_git_directory_gently() which seems a bit overkill.
