auth: drop active_from_extern from internal auth API

Modules should never auth a user if the auth source knows the user is inactive.
Also, it is too late and unreliable to disable users when they try to log in.
There is thus no need for this concept.

Only the crowd module had some traces of actual active_from_extern usage. The
'active' flag for crowd users was fully controlled from crowd. Now, Instead,
just let crowd reject authentication of users that are inactive in crowd, and
leave the internal Kallithea 'active' flag under admin control.

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