pull requests: prevent adding DEFAULT user as reviewer

Add a helper method to resolve reviewers, with an added check to prevent
the adding of the DEFAULT user as reviewer.

The __add_reviewers method, although internal, had a troubling interface
where the method was responsible for resolving reviewers, but the caller
was responsible for resolving mention_recipients. The method is changed
to always take two sets of database User objects, leaving the resolution
to the caller in both cases.

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