css: use pseudo-content trick to prevent diff line numbers from being pasted to text

When copy-pasting a diff from Chrome to a text editor, line numbers (on
separate lines) would be pasted as well. Even though 'user-select: none'
prevents text from being visually selected, in Chrome, the text still gets
copied to the clipboard when the user for example presses ctrl-c. (It worked in
Firefox.)

Instead, don't put the line numbers directly in the DOM, but put them in a data
attribute and render them as :before. That will give the same rendering as
before but prevent it from being copied.

(Firefox will however still add empty lines - that is how <pre> is hardcoded to
be rendered when pasting to text.)

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