ssh: introduce ini setting 'ssh_enabled', disabled by default

Administrators should control the use of SSH and may want to disable SSH
access, temporarily or permanently.

An explicit setting ssh_enabled is better than e.g. checking for a valid
ssh_authorized_keys setting, to allow such trivial temporary disabling.

To keep the controllers simple, introduce a decorator IfSshEnabled instead
of repeating the same config checks in every method.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
