db: stop messing with convert_unicode in .ini and db scheme

convert_unicode=False is the default for String fields ... except when the .ini file contains sets it to True.

String fields are however no longer used for unicode and we can drop convert_unicode everywhere.

See
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/type_basics.html#sqlalchemy.types.String.params.convert_unicode
for the advice of never setting convert_unicode.

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