auth: accept sha256 passwords on all platforms - not only on Windows

Give less surprises when changing platform.

Still, bcrypt is only supported and used on Posix.

bcrypt "hashes" will have length 60 and start with '$' and will thus
immediately skip the sha256 check.

The change should be safe: Users can't influence what kind of hashed key will
be in the database and can thus not influence the auth method.

(We really should use bcrypt on Windows too ... or change to something more
state of the art.)
.. _statistics:

=====================
Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
