search: make "repository:" condition work case-insensitively as expected

Before this revision, "repository:" condition at searching for "Commit
messages" never shows revisions in a repository, of which name uses
upper case letter.

Using ID for "repository" of CHGSETS_SCHEMA preserves case of
repository name at indexing. On the other hand, search condition
itself is forcibly lowered before parsing.

- files in repository "FOO" is indexed as "FOO" in "repository" field
- "repository:FOO" condition is treated as "repository:foo:

Then, indexing search itself is executed case-sensitively. Therefore,
"repository:FOO" condition never show revisions in repository "FOO".

But just making "repository" of CHGSETS_SCHEMA case-insensitive isn't
reasonable enough, because it breaks assumptions below, if there is
case-insensitive name collision between repositories, even though
Kallithea itself can manage such repositories at same time.

- combination of "raw_id" (= revision hash ID) and "repository" is
unique between all known revisions under Kallithea

CHGSETS_SCHEMA assumes this.

This unique-ness is required by Whoosh library to determine
whether index table should be updated or not for that repository.

- searching in a repository shows only revisions in that repository

Before this revision, this filtering is achieve by "repository:"
condition with case-preserved repository name from requested URL.

To make "repository:" search condition work case-insensitively as
expected (without any violation of assumptions above), this revision
does:

- make "repository" of CHGSETS_SCHEMA case-insensitive by
"analyzer=ICASEIDANALYZER"

- introduce "repository_rawname" into SCHEMA and CHGSETS_SCHEMA, to
ensure assumptions described above, by preserving case of
repository name

"repository_rawname" of SCHEMA uses not ID but TEXT, because the
former disable "positions" feature, which is required for
highlight-ing file content (see previous revision for detail).

This revision requires full re-building index tables, because indexing
schemas are changed.
.. _locking:

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