The current 'clone-prefix' setting has some known issues:
* All repos get the same 'clone-prefix' value since the setting is not
adopted during repo registration (in cgitrc, or during scan-path traversal),
but only when the setting is used.
* The generated clone-urls for a repo is a combination of 'clone-prefix', a
slash and the repo url. This doesn't work well with e.g. ssh-style urls
like 'git@example.org:repo.git', since the inserted slash will make the
repo relative to the filesystem root.
* If 'remove-suffix' is enabled, the generated clone-urls will not work for
cloning (except for http-urls to cgit itself) since they miss the '.git'
suffix.
The new 'clone-url' setting is designed to avoid the mentioned issues:
* Each repo adopts the default 'clone-url' when the repo is defined. This
allows different groups of repos to adopt different values.
* The clone-urls for a repo is generated by expanding environment variables
in a string template without inserting arbitrary characters, hence any
kind of clone-url can be generated.
* Macro expansion also eases the 'remove-suffix' pain since it's now
possible to define e.g. 'clone-url=git://foo.org/$CGIT_REPO_URL.git' for
a set of repos. A furter improvement would be to define e.g.
$CGIT_REPO_SUFFIX to '.git' for all repos which had their url prettified,
or to store the original $CGIT_REPO_URL in e.g. $CGIT_REPO_REAL_URL before
suffix removal.

For some inexplicable reason I'd gotten the semantics of `grep -v` totally
backwards, thinking it somehow would make the exitcode from grep indicate
the non-match of the specified pattern.
This fixes the broken tests and gives me a valuable lession about shell
programming at the same time.
