tests: clarify user IP range test dependency on beaker caching of user objects

Requests with invalid request address would pass after configuring user IP
ranges because the IP range would not be validated as long as the user object
was found in the beaker cache.

Instead, wait until the beaker cache has expired and verify the user cannot log
in without a valid IP. Then provide a valid IP for later requests until the IP
range is removed again.

Based on original patch and research by Dominik Ruf.

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