CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environment
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained. Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes, the environment can carry these arguments as well. Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in the absence of equivalent command line arguments.
