repos: fix abuse of dead 'repo' routing

The repo "show" controller didn't do anything and was unused. There was a
routing GET entry for it but it was only used for generating URLs for DELETE
and PUT operations that have separate controllers that happen to have the same
URL.

Use the right routing entries when generating URLs and drop the dead code.

==================
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`` state that
can be true or false.  The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action on the repository locks it (``locked=true``)
  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 (``locked=false``) 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 includes 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.
