 - gitweb: Use esc_html_match_hl() in 'grep' search

This one is about starting unification of match highlighting in
gitweb, using esc_html_match_hl() which can show multiple matches in
line as opposed to existing hand-crafted and duplicated solutions.

 - gitweb: Highlight matched part of shortened project description
 - gitweb: Highlight matched part of project description when searching projects
 - gitweb: Highlight matched part of project name when searching projects
 - gitweb: Introduce esc_html_hl_regions

This is about adding match highlighting to project search.  Other
kinds of search in gitweb ('commit', 'grep' - both per-repository
searches) already use match highlighting.

 (this branch uses jn/gitweb-search-optim.)

Theoretically those topics should be independent, but I think there
can be tetual conflict.  Better to build one on top of the other.

Nb. should I send those series independently?
 

Not reviewed and do not know what this is about yet ;-).

I hope that above description helps.
 

* jn/gitweb-search-optim (2012-02-19) 3 commits
 - gitweb: Faster project search
 - gitweb: Option for filling only specified info in fill_project_list_info
 - gitweb: Refactor checking if part of project info need filling
 (this branch is used by jn/gitweb-hilite-regions.)

The API introduced in the second step still has yucky design, but at least
it is more clear than the previous rounds what this is trying to do.

Thanks for the comments.  I'll try to send re-roll soon.
