login: assert that the validated user actually is found

Due to another bug, it was possible that authentication succeeded but the user
object couldn't be obtained. This was for example noticed when the LDAP auth
module did not correctly parse the email attribute, and a login via email
was attempted. In this case, the user was retrieved from email address and LDAP
found the user, but the email attribute in the Kallithea database was then
changed incorrectly and a subsequent retrieval based on the same original email
address would not find the user.

Such problem would lead to an assert in Kallithea:

File ".../kallithea/controllers/login.py", line 104, in index
auth_user = log_in_user(user, c.form_result['remember'], is_external_auth=False, ip_addr=request.ip_addr)
File ".../kallithea/lib/base.py", line 122, in log_in_user
assert not user.is_default_user, user
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_default_user'

This assert cought the problem but is not a spot-on indicator of the real
problem. Instead, we can catch this problem sooner by adding an assert already
in the login controller.

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
