utils: move repo_name_slug to utils2 to prevent import cycle on setup_db

After commit 57a733313e4f, 'gearbox setup-db -c my.ini' fails with an import
cycle as follows:

ImportError: cannot import name RepoGroupModel


i.e. kallithea.model.repo_group wants to import kallithea.lib.utils which
in turn wants to import kallithea.model.repo_group.

In fact there exists kallithea.lib.utils and kallithea.lib.utils2.
The current split is that 'utils2' contains 'simple' utilities, none of which
depend on kallithea models, controllers, ... In contrast, 'utils' does rely
on such kallithea classes.

As kallithea.model.repo_group was only include kallithea.lib.utils for its
repo_name_slug method, which has no dependency on other kallithea classes,
move that method (and its dependent recursive_replace) to
kallithea.lib.utils2 instead. This fixes the import cycle.
.. _locking:

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