Complete staging set up for android.git.linaro.org

Whiteboard
Meta:
Headline: Complete set up of the staging android git server to match existing server.
Acceptance: Code reviews are also possible on the android git staging instance and there is a git-ro setup that works just as well as the actual server.
[milo, 2013-04-09] Spent a great deal of time figuring out why git-ro was not correctly working: the Apache RewriteLock directive was not configured, and the RewriteMap one was not being locked correctly, resulting in borked output. Took a while since error log was swamped by other messages as well.
[milo, 2013-04-10] Need to file a ticket to Canonical IS in order to get clear picture of how gerrit was configured on the server, and to get also the DB dump.
[milo, 2013-04-10] Latest version of gerrit 2.5.2 has been copied on the server under /srv/gerrit.
[milo, 2013-04-10] Canonical IS provided DB dumps, all copied on the staging server.
[milo, 2013-04-11] After discovering I had a problem with my DNS, I can finally see the staging instances: http://
[stevanr, 2013-04-11] create-git-hooks.sh was taken from git.linaro.org actually, paths are updated, script is about to be deployed to staging.
[stevanr, 2013-04-11] script was already in place at /srv/gerrit/
[stevanr, 2013-04-26] clone.bundles prove to give more then 30% increase for larger repos. The new script for creating/updating clone.bundle files has been added to staging.
