model: remove BaseModel class

The only remaining purpose of this class was to provide the "sa" field,
allowing a custom SQLAlchemy session to be used for model operations.
However, this never actually worked, nor was it used anywhere.

There's always a global SQLAlchemy session associated with the current
thread; using another session for a single function call does not make
any sense (as sessions cannot be mixed), unless the code works carefully
to ensure the two sessions (and all objects loaded from them) are kept
completely separate. Suffice to say that Kallithea does no such thing,
thus there's no need to pretend to support multiple concurrent sessions.
.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
