tests: admin_users: make sure all custom IP permissions are cleared

test_delete_ip changes IP permissions and at the end tries to clean up by
deleting it again. When the delete fails, there is still a restricted IP
permission configuration, causing other tests to fail.
Use the recently added pytest fixture auto_clear_ip_permissions to fix this.
The fixture is extended to not only clear IP permissions for the default
user, but also for the 'regular' test user.

Similar cleanup code in test_add_ip is deleted because it serves the same
purpose, but would fail to execute if something went wrong earlier in the
test method.

This commit is very similar to an earlier commit that covers similar
add/delete IP functionality for the default user, in test_permissions.py.

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