pullrequests: when creating, don't convert selected revision to tag name

It kind of makes sense that if a branch head or bookmarked revision is chosen,
then pretend the symbolic name was chosen. The name can move and will give the
PR a future. That is currently done both when populating the select boxes and
when actually creating the new PR. There, a selected revision is also
"upgraded" to its branch.

Tags are however mostly static. Fair enough if a user wants to create a PR from
a tag, but if a revision is selected, it shouldn't be side tracked to the tag name.

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