test.ini: align some logging-related settings with development.ini

When manually using test.ini (that is, not via the test suite) the coloring
of log output like development.ini provides can be very useful.
Note that this color output is not taken along by pytest-capturelog,
regardless of this patch.

Some extra-verbose logging in test.ini is on the other hand not needed and
could be enabled when needed by a specific developer.

Note: the 'level=DEBUG' setting for handler_console_sql is not taken along
to test.ini: it causes duplicate sqlalchemy debug logs, one through
handler_console_sql and another through another path.

If future experience points out that some of these changes are actually
worse than they were, adjustments can still be made.

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