gitweb: Serve text/* 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss

One of mechanism enabled by setting $prevent_xss to true is 'blob_plain' view protection. With XSS prevention on, blobs of all types except a few known safe ones are served with "Content-Disposition: attachment" to make sure they don't run in our security domain. Instead of serving text/* type files, except text/plain (and including text/html), as attachements, downgrade it to text/plain. This way HTML pages in 'blob_plain' (raw) view would be displayed in browser, but safely as a source, and not asked to be saved.
