http-backend: add GIT_PROJECT_ROOT environment var

Add a new environment variable, GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, to override the
method of using PATH_TRANSLATED to find the git repository on disk.
This makes it much easier to configure the web server, especially when
the web server's DocumentRoot does not contain the git repositories,
which is the usual case.
