[PATCH] ui-shared: fix return type of cgit_self_link

cgit_self_link() is a void function but implements each case it handles
by doing "return <another_void_function>" which is not valid C; section
6.8.6.4 of C11 says:

	A return statement with an expression shall not appear in a
	function whose return type is void.

Fix this by removing the return keywords and converting the final code
block into an "else".

Interestingly, while checking for a reference to confirm that this
really is an issue, Microsoft's compiler says this:

    If the function was declared with return type void, a return
    statement containing an expression generates a warning and the
    expression is not evaluated.

I assume that GCC just converts "return expresion;" in a void function
into "expression; return;" which is why this hasn't been noticed.
