git-cvsserver: add ability to guess -kb from contents

Browse Source 
If "gitcvs.allbinary" is set to "guess", then any file that has
not been explicitly marked as binary or text using the "crlf" attribute
and the "gitcvs.usecrlfattr" config will guess binary based on the contents
of the file.

You can make the server use `crlf` attributes to set the '-k' modes
for files by setting the `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` config variable.
In this case, if `crlf` is explicitly unset ('-crlf'), then the
will set '-kb' mode, for binary files. If it `crlf` is set,
server will set '-kb' mode for binary files. If `crlf` is set,
then the '-k' mode will explicitly be left blank. See
also linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information about the `crlf`
attribute.
Alternatively, if `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` config is not enabled
or if the `crlf` attribute is unspecified for a filename, then
the server uses the `gitcvs.allbinary` for the default setting.
If `gitcvs.allbinary` is set, then the files not otherwise

If `gitcvs.allbinary` is set, then file not otherwise
specified will default to '-kb' mode. Otherwise the '-k' mode
is left blank.
is left blank. But if `gitcvs.allbinary` is set to "guess", then
the correct '-k' mode will be guessed based on the contents of
the file.
For best consistency with cvs, it is probably best to override the
defaults by setting `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` to true,
and `gitcvs.allbinary` to "guess".
