Add config variable to set HTML path for git-help --web
If set in git-config, help.htmlpath overrides system_path(GIT_HTML_PATH) which was compiled in. This allows users to repoint system-wide git at their own copy of the documentation without recompiling. Signed-off-by: Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
