search: fix XSS vulnerability in search results
The search feature did not correctly escape all arguments when displaying
search matches and linking to the corresponding files.
An attacker that can control the contents of a repository could thus cause
a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
Fix the problem by removing the overall h.literal call that is only needed
for the HTML entity » and splitting the link instead.
We take the opportunity to improving the destination of the part before
» which is the path to the repository. Instead of pointing to the
search result, point to the repository itself.
The part after » remains linked to the file containing the search
match.

Repository statistics
=====================
Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.
The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.
When Celery is disabled:
On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.
Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
updating its statistics cache.
When Celery is enabled:
On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
task.
