utils: when building a Mercurial ui object with configuration, don't use 'None' for NULL values

If Ui had an entry with
ui_section='extensions', ui_key='largefiles', ui_value=NULL
it would be passed to Mercurial as if the .ini file had
[extensions]
largefiles = None
and it would fail to load the largefiles extension because it couldn't find
'./None/'.

Note: get_current_revision might currently mask this problem. It will not get
the Ui from the database and will thus read a normal .ini file from the system
and (if configured) read the largefiles extension from the default location.
That will make the largefiles extension available for later largefiles imports
even if they specify the bogus path.

As f8a714c2c5a1 noted in a FIXME: ui_value should perhaps not be nullable.

For now, just handle NULL in extension configuration.

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.
