gitweb: Simplify (and fix) chop_str
gitweb: Simplify (and fix) chop_str

The chop_str subroutine is meant to be used on strings (such as commit
description / title) *before* HTML escaping, which means before
applying esc_html or equivalent.

Therefore get rid of the failed attempt to always remove full HTML
entities (like e.g. &amp; or &nbsp;).  It is not necessary (HTML
entities gets added later), and it can cause chop_str to chop a string
incorrectly.

Specifically:

The short version of the title gets chopped to

     API ...

where it should be

     API & protocol: support option to force written data...
