lib: sanitize HTML for all types of README rendering, not only markdown
The repository summary page will display a rendered version of the
repository 'readme' based on its file extension. In commit 5746cc3b3fa5,
the rendered output was already sanitized when the input was markdown.
However, also readmes written in other formats, like ReStructuredText (RST)
or plain text could have content that we want sanitized.
Therefore, move the sanitizing one level up so it covers all renderers, for
now and the future.
This fixes an XSS issue when a repository readme contains javascript code,
which would be executed when the repository summary page is visited by a
user.

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.
