comments: avoid storing 'No comments' text when changing status

When a general comment (with or without status change) is added to a
changeset or pull request, and no text was added, Kallithea automatically
used 'No comments' as text. The stub text is added to the database as if it has
been entered by the user and it can thus not easily be identified as an
automatic comment.

This commit makes following changes:
- allow adding an empty comment to the database when there is a status
change. An empty comment without status change is ignored.
- do not add a stub text to the database, but generate it on demand
- the stub text is shown in italic font to differentiate it from user-entered
text

Currently there is a large amount of duplication between
controllers/changeset.py and controllers/pullrequests.py, which is to be
cleaned up in a later commit.

==================
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`` state that
can be true or false.  The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action on the repository locks it (``locked=true``)
  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 (``locked=false``) 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 includes 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.
