controllers: don’t pass start=0 to BaseRepository.get_changesets()

MercurialRepository.get_changesets() can fail if passing start=0 if the
revision 0 is not in self.revisions. That can happen if revision 0 is not in
the visible subset of the revisions in the repository. Before Kallithea
changeset 7c43e15fb8bc7a73f17f577e59a4698589b6809d, it was working by chance
because start=0 was treated like start=None in the relevant places
(GitRepository.get_changesets still does that).

The intention of passing start=0 was seemingly to not limit the start.
Therefore passing start=None (or nothing, as it’s the default value) should be
correct.

I got the following traceback before this change:

Traceback (most recent call last):

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