[#155] Replace ViewVC

Description

Summary:

Detailed description

ViewVC (used as a repository browser for CVS and SVN) is unmaintained, both upstream and in the Debian family of distributions. It's also not compatible with Python 2.6, so it's going to stop working soon on distributions that switch to Python 2.6 or later. It should therefore be replaced with something maintained and working; Chora2 seems a good candidate: it handles CVS and SVN, and it's written in PHP so it should be relatively easy to integrate into FusionForge and remove the iframes. Also, currently under development is support for Git, which will be nice to get when Chora3 is released. Other candidates should be evaluated, too, if any.

Since we just re-did the ViewVC integration I guess we're not replacing it anytime soon :)

According to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/viewvc/trunk/changes it’s indeed active. (You can probably even bzr merge it…)

Seems I was wrong about ViewVC being unmaintained upstream. Upstream is actually rather active (latest release is less than two weeks old).
