celery: upgrade to Celery 3

Celery 3 is more than 2 and is the future and should be more stable than Celery 2.

There might be problems like
PRECONDITION_FAILED - cannot redeclare exchange 'celeryresults' in vhost 'kallithea' with different type, durable, internal or autodelete value
when celery is upgraded and it tries to upgrade existing tasks.

One way to avoid that problem:
- make sure celery has run to completion and there are no important pending tasks,
- delete the old vhost,
- upgrade celery,
- create new vhost
- set permissions for vhost
- profit

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