[PATCH] Highlight the link target line in Gitweb using CSS

This is useful when a Gitweb link with a target (like #l100) refers to
a line in the last screenful of text.  Highlight the background in
yellow, and display a ⚓ character on the left.  Show the same
highlight when hovering the mouse over a line number.

The background-colour change is the 'main' (tiny) change.

Consider the ::before part a suggestion.  I think it helps show the
target line, but it does overlap the first character of any line >999.

I've tested this on the browsers I have access to, which excludes
Internet Explorer.  Since it's cosmetic it shouldn't matter if it doesn't
work.
