tests: fix failures due to environment LANG settings (Issue #286)

When the environment in which the tests are run dictates a non-English
language (e.g. via LANG=de_DE.UTF-8), certain tests started to fail because
formencode validation messages where translated in that language.

A test failing this way is for example
test_create_in_group_without_needed_permissions in
kallithea/tests/functional/test_admin_repos.py .

This is a regression of commit 3b29103657df (i18n: remove explicit
formencode language setting), but in fact reverting it is not the right
solution as there is no problem except during test execution.

Instead, force the formencode language to 'empty' (meaning English) for test
execution only.

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