Before this change, gitweb would generate pages which included:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8"/>
When a meta's http-equiv equals "content-type", the http-equiv is said
to be in the "Encoding declaration state". According to the HTML
Standard,
The Encoding declaration state may be used in HTML documents,
but elements with an http-equiv attribute in that state must not
be used in XML documents.

This change removes that meta element since gitweb always generates XML
documents.
