templates/files: narrow down scope of webhelpers.html.literal

In the 'Show Authors' functionality on a file of a repository, the following
construct:
h.literal(ungettext('..A..') % (..B..))

can be simplified. Here, literal was used to cater for explicit HTML tags in
the (..B..) part only. There is no need to apply literal on the '..A..'
part.

A better structure of this code is:
h.HTML(ungettext('..A..')) % h.literal(..B..)

Note that we still need to wrap the '..A..' part in webhelpers.html.HTML to
make sure the '%' operator will preserve the 'literal' property.

See also the documentation: (the text below for 'literal' also applies to
'HTML')

"
When literal is used in a mixed expression containing both literals and
ordinary strings, it tries hard to escape the strings and return a
literal. However, this depends on which value has “control” of the
expression. literal seems to be able to take control with all
combinations of the + operator, but with % and join it must be on the
left side of the expression. So these all work:

"A" + literal("B")
literal(", ").join(["A", literal("B")])
literal("%s %s") % (16, literal("kg"))

But these return an ordinary string which is prone to double-escaping later:

"\n".join([literal('<span class="foo">Foo!</span>'), literal('Bar!')])
"%s %s" % (literal("16"), literal("&lt;em&gt;kg&lt;/em&gt;"))

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