diff: fix 2-way diff panel height

Since a jQuery upgrade in commit c225c37c069d, 2-way diff was broken: the
height was not correct, and sometimes the source code was shown in gray
boxes.

Analysis showed that in the invocation of mergely
(templates/files/diff_2way.html), '$("#footer").height()' is undefined, in
turn caused by the absence of an HTML element with id 'footer'.

In jQuery 3.0, the height function returns 'undefined' on empty sets, while
it was 'null' in older versions. This is important because in a mathematical
expression, 'null' behaves as the number 0, but 'undefined' causes a NaN
(not-a-number) result.
See: https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/#breaking-change-return-values-on-empty-sets-are-undefined

The 'id' property on the footer was removed in commit 61c99cdbbfff,
retaining only the 'class="footer"'.

Fix the problem by using the class-based selector to get the footer height.

As the footer height will now be an actual value instead of '0' originally,
we can update the calculation without 'magic' values like '36' which was
actually a reference to the footer size.
When we initialize mergely, the page only contains the header and footer.
All window space below the footer can be assigned to the compare panes. The
height specified to mergely is thus the total window height minus the header
height (the top position of the footer) and the footer height.


Note: another change in this context is that jQuery 3.0 can now return
non-integer values for .height(), e.g. 138.0345. In the case of 2-way diff,
this is not an actual problem.

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
