For users running multiple (-nntpd@1, -nntpd@2) instances of
either -httpd or -nntpd via systemd to implement zero-downtime
restarts; it's possible for a listen socket to become blocking
for a moment during an accept syscall and cause a daemons to
get stuck in a blocking accept() during
PublicInbox::Listener::event_step (event_read in previous
versions).

Since O_NONBLOCK is a file description flag, systemd clearing
O_NONBLOCK momentarily (before PublicInbox::Listener::new
re-enables it) creates a window for another instance of our

searchview: add link at bottom to reverse results

I could not find a place to put the link the top without
making navigation too cluttered.  Putting it at the bottom
of the page seems reasonable...

searchview: support negative offsets to reverse ordering

Taking a hint from Perl array access, we'll allow negative
offsets for the 'o' parameter and to reverse the sort order.

t/git-http-backend: explain purpose of test

I found myself tempted to switch to HTTP::Tiny, here, since
it's distributed with Perl since 5.14, unlike Net::HTTP
(which AFAIK was never a part of Perl proper).

But we really want to use Net::HTTP, here, since it's
lower-level and allows us to trigger server-side buffering
by not reading the entity body.

Now that the code matches Xapian terminology, ensure
our comments match, too.
