Add JSON and TEXT links to more pages

[GoogleCodeExporter]

FWIW, this would be very helpful for the chrome team.  I recently wrote a tool 
which needed to look up commit messages (i.e. from 
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/master). I ended up writing 
a regex to parse gitiles html.

Thanks for the suggestion, we are more than happy to prioritize which JSON 
endpoints we implement first based on Chrome's priorities :)

That said this bug is specifically about the JSON and TEXT link badges you see 
at the bottom of https://chromium.googlesource.com/. Currently we *only* put 
those links on /, even though JSON and/or TEXT are available for more pages.

Having json listing for the recent commits, is the only issue (that I'm aware 
of) preventing us from moving Blink's "garden-o-matic" tool to a server:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/To
ols/GardeningServer/scripts/svn-log.js&q=svn-log&sq=package:chromium&l=100

I looked at adding it earlier this summer, then got distracted with other 
things.  Eventually I'll get back to it.

re: #3
I don't know if this is new since your comment, but does this work for your 
json recent commits listing:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+log/HEAD~5..HEAD?format=JSON
