ini: drop setting initial_repo_scan
The ini setting 'initial_repo_scan' caused a repository scan on each startup
of Kallithea. The accompanying comment already warns that the feature should
be disabled after the first run to improve startup time.
Now that setup-db is performing the initial repository scan, and considering
that administrators can always request a new scan using 'gearbox repo-scan'
or via the web interface, the 'initial_repo_scan' feature is no longer
considered useful and is removed with this commit.

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