[TDF infra] Announcing Gitiles VCS browser (gitweb replacement) and https:// anon git URIs

[Samuel Mehrbrodt]

Maybe just use the hub redirection, e.g.

https://hub.libreoffice.org/git-core/40264372657160b69b9639eff4fe0263af8f9033

https://hub.libreoffice.org/git-online/eaa4a7838a913979eddd2304053b1697ad596586

Using the hub has the advantage that the links would still work even if 
cgit.fdo was no longer available, or gitiles was gone, or has another 
URL syntax, etc.

Regards
Samuel

The other major problem, are the random symbols like “^!” appended to the ends of commit IDs in URLs. I’ve been copy and pasting commit IDs from cgit for years and never once had a problem. With gitiles, it happens regularly despite me being aware.
