[Impact]
The links for the following are broken in the Service Information or the Host Information menus for the following links:

View Trends For This Service
View Alert Histogram For This Service
View Trends For This Host
View Alert Histogram For This Host

[Test Plan]
Just access those links in: Current status / Hosts and Current status / Services and choosing a host or a service

[Where problems could occur]
The URLs for all cgi scripts are modified. I tested extensively but there may be some section of the web UI that might get affected by this change. Also installed nagios from source and the URLs are the same as the ones in this package after the change so if something breaks it's probable that it is also broken upstream.

[Other Info]
The patch consists in changing the with-cgiurl to /nagios4/cgi-bin as, per limitations on the Nagios code, the html files (on /nagios4) should be one folder level below cgi-bin. This is because sometimes Nagios tries to reach html files as ../file.html while the base url is pointing to the cgi-bin folder.
This new value is in fact very close to the upstream default for this parameter which is /nagios/cgi-bin (while the default for html files is /nagios). Thus, installations from upstream source are not affected as long as these are not modified. The bug occurs because this default value is changed in the deb packaging.
