admin: clean-up of Gravatar and IP in user profile headers

Move things around and use Bootstrap compatible markup.

The user IP will rarely be relevant - especially not on the admin pages; the IP
configuration there is more for other user's IP. It might however be somewhat
relevant for a (non-admin) user to know his own IP. There is no obvious place
to show that - it doesn't really fit in as a part of the user profile. Anyway,
just show it under Show Permissions.

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