auth: strip RFC4007 zone identifiers from IPv6 addresses before doing access control

If using IPv6, the request IP address might contain a '%' that the ipaddr
module that is used for IP filtering can't handle.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007#section-11 specifies how IPv6 addresses can
have zone identifiers like trailing '%13' or '%eth0'. The zone identifier is
used to help distinguish *if* the same address should be available on multiple
interfaces. It *could* potentially have security implications in the odd case
where the same address is different on different interfaces. The IP whitelist
functionality does however not support zone filters, so there is no way users
can expect the zone to be relevant for IP filtering. We can thus safely strip
the zone index and only check for match on the other parts of the address.

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