ngx_http_autoindex_module: Added viewport meta tag to autoindex html 
rendering

Previously , Auto Indexing Directory didn't include viewport meta tag 
which caused html not to scale to the screen width .
This caused Narrow screen devices (e.g. mobiles) render pages in a 
virtual window or viewport,
which is usually wider than the screen, and then shrink the rendered 
result down so it can all be seen at once.
This required frequent zooming and scrolling as things looked small.
This made autoindexing unresponsive on mobile and other narrow screen 
devices.

This patch makes autoindexing mobile responsive.
