Utils.GetRequestURI(): New function, returns the full virtual path the

  calling CGI script was invoked with.
  Uses (non-standard, but convenient) environment variable REQUEST_URI
  when available, otherwise SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO (which are part
  of the CGI/1.1 spec) if available, or simply returns optional
  argument `fallback' (which defaults to None).
Cgi/admin.py, Cgi/admindb.py: Use it when generating admin
  authentication page.
