graph: detect git branches and colourise them properly without rainbow effect (Issue #188)

This is based on research and patches by Andrew Shadura.

When using Git, only commits pointed to by branch references have their
branches set. In general, there's no way in Git to find out which branch
a commit belongs to, so we can try to deduce that from the merge topology.

In other words, if we know the branch name, we know it's a different colour
than any different branch. If we don't (it is None), we guesstimate the first
parent is probably on the same branch. The relevant part of the code before
2da0dc09 used a similar, yet simpler, algorithm.

==================
Repository locking
==================

Kallithea has a *repository locking* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.

When repository locking is enabled, repositories get a ``locked`` flag.
The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action locks the target repository
  if the user has write/admin permissions on this repository.

- Kallithea will remember the user who locked the repository so only this
  specific user can unlock the repo by performing a ``push``
  command.

- Every other command on a locked repository from this user and every command
  from any other user will result in an HTTP return code 423 (Locked).
  Additionally, the HTTP error will mention the user that locked the repository
  (e.g., “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”).

Each repository can be manually unlocked by an administrator from the
repository settings menu.
