I vaguely remember we had different points of view on cgit vs gitweb user
experience before, but in this case of blob_plain requests there is
obviously no difference except that cgit is usually faster. Given that
these blob_plain requests are often go into scripts, I think we should
prefer cgit over gitweb for this type of URLs.

We have plenty of gitweb URLs in users.txt to give users a different
perspective.
