forms: don't use secure forms with authentication token for GET requests
The token is secret and should never be used in forms posted with GET which are
URL encoded. aef21d16a262 was too aggresive in using secure forms everywhere
and did thus also incorrectly use them for forms posted with GET.
Some token leakage was reported by Gjoko Krstic <gjoko@zeroscience.mk> of Zero
Science Lab.

==================
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.
