scan_path(): Do not recurse into hidden directories by default

Paths that start with a period ('.') are considered hidden in the Unix world.
scan_path() should arguably not recurse into these directories by default.
This patch makes it so, and introduces the "scan-hidden-path" config variable
for overriding the new default and revert to the old behaviour (scanning _all_
directories, including hidden .directories).

 project-list::
         A list of subdirectories inside of scan-path, relative to it, that

 renamelimit::
         Maximum number of files to consider when detecting renames. The value
          "-1" uses the compiletime value in git (for further info, look at

         "Git Repository Browser".
 
+scan-hidden-path::
+        If set to "1" and scan-path is enabled, scan-path will recurse into
+        directories whose name starts with a period ('.'). Otherwise,
+        scan-path will stay away from such directories (considered as
+        "hidden"). Note that this does not apply to the ".git" directory in
+        non-bare repos. This must be defined prior to scan-path.
+        Default value: 0. See also: scan-path.
+
 scan-path::
         A path which will be scanned for repositories. If caching is enabled,
         the result will be cached as a cgitrc include-file in the cache
         directory. If project-list has been defined prior to scan-path,
         scan-path loads only the directories listed in the file pointed to by
         project-list. Default value: none. See also: cache-scanrc-ttl,
         project-list.
 
 section::
         The name of the current repository section - all repositories defined
         after this option will inherit the current section name. Default value:
         none.
 
 section-from-path::
         A number which, if specified before scan-path, specifies how many
         path elements from each repo path to use as a default section name.
         If negative, cgit will discard the specified number of path elements
         above the repo directory. Default value: 0.
 
 side-by-side-diffs::
         If set to "1" shows side-by-side diffs instead of unidiffs per
         default. Default value: "0".
 
 snapshots::
         Text which specifies the default set of snapshot formats generated by
         cgit. The value is a space-separated list of zero or more of the
         values "tar", "tar.gz", "tar.bz2" and "zip". Default value: none.
 
 source-filter::
         Specifies a command which will be invoked to format plaintext blobs
         in the tree view. The command will get the blob content on its STDIN
         and the name of the blob as its only command line argument. The STDOUT
         from the command will be included verbatim as the blob contents, i.e.
         this can be used to implement e.g. syntax highlighting. Default value:
         none.
 
 summary-branches::
         Specifies the number of branches to display in the repository "summary"
         view. Default value: "10".
 
 summary-log::
         Specifies the number of log entries to display in the repository
         "summary" view. Default value: "10".
 
 summary-tags::
         Specifies the number of tags to display in the repository "summary"
         view. Default value: "10".
 
 strict-export::
         Filename which, if specified, needs to be present within the repository
         for cgit to allow access to that repository. This can be used to emulate
         gitweb's EXPORT_OK and STRICT_EXPORT functionality and limit cgit's
         repositories to match those exported by git-daemon. This option MUST come
         before 'scan-path'.
 
 virtual-root::
         Url which, if specified, will be used as root for all cgit links. It
         will also cause cgit to generate 'virtual urls', i.e. urls like
         '/cgit/tree/README' as opposed to '?r=cgit&p=tree&path=README'. Default
         value: none.
         NOTE: cgit has recently learned how to use PATH_INFO to achieve the
         same kind of virtual urls, so this option will probably be deprecated.
