auth: drop unused AuthUser.is_authenticated
It seems like other ways of tracking authentication state are better. AuthUser
is a *potentially* authenticated user. We prefer to keep it as that, without
modifying the AuthUser object if the user actually should be authenticated.
The primariy indicator that a user is authenticated is when the AuthUser is set
as request.authuser .
(Alternatively, we could create an AuthenticatedUser sub-class and move things
like access control checks there. That would help ensuring it is used
correctly, without having to check an is_authenticated flag.)

Debugging Kallithea
===================
If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.
.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.
Enable detailed debug
---------------------
Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.
Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------
To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.
.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
can be a serious security threat to your system.
