view: favor whitespace wrap in <head>
If we bite the bullet and rely on inline CSS, we might as well
only specify it once per page instead of inline in every <pre>
tag which may handle UGC. So this actually saves us a small
amount of bandwith on most pages which have multiple <pre>
start tags.

view: move thread info near top of single view
Most framed mail viewing software has message ancestry
information near the top instead of bottom (mutt, gmane,
sylpheed, thunderbird) as it can help improve context.
Traditional netiquette also favors writing replies below
quoted (older) text for this reason; so move the thread
summary to the top of the message for context.
Since threads may be long, add a "skip" anchor link to jump to
the message body quickly, and align the date to the left column
so it's easier to tell the relative age of messages.
While we're at it, remove quotes from "id" attributes to
improve ease-of-grep-ability.

We'll be using it for more than just cat-file.
Adding a `popen' API for internal use allows us to save a bunch
of code in other places.
