tests: use temporary copy of test.ini, possibly customized for TEST_DB
It was an undocumented feature that if setting the environment variable
TEST_DB, that would be used for tests instead of the default
kallithea/tests/test.ini sqlalchemy.url . That did however not work for Git
hooks and tests would fail.
Instead, create a copy of test.ini in the temp folder and use that for testing.
If TEST_DB is set, edit the file so the specified DB URL is used. This fixes
Git hook related tests if TEST_DB is used.
Since this also changes the path of %(here)s to the temporary location, just
use the default paths.
This also has the advantage that the data folders are now in the temp folder
as well. Therefore a broken data folder, from a past run, can no longer
influence a test.

Debugging Kallithea
===================
If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.
.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.
Enable detailed debug
---------------------
Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.
Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------
To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.
.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
can be a serious security threat to your system.
