tests: remove race condition in test_forgot_password

One in so many times, test_forgot_password failed with:

kallithea/tests/functional/test_login.py:427: in test_forgot_password
assert '\n%s\n' % token in body
E assert ('\n%s\n' % 'd71ad3ed3c6ca637ad00b7098828d33c56579201') in
"Password Reset Request\n\nHello passwd reset,\n\nWe have received a
request to reset the password for your account.\n\nTo
s...7e89326ca372ade1d424dafb106d824cddb\n\nIf it weren't you who
requested the password reset, just disregard this message.\n"

i.e. the expected token is not the one in the email.

The token is calculated based on a timestamp (among others). And the token
is calculated twice: once in the real code and once in the test, each time
on a slightly different timestamp. Even though there is flooring of the
timestamp to a second resolution, there will always be a race condition
where the two timestamps floor to a different second, e.g. 4.99 vs 5.01.

The problem can be reproduced reliably by adding a sleep of e.g. 2 seconds
before generating the password reset mail (after the test has already
calculated the expected token).

Solve this problem by mocking the time.time() used to generate the
timestamp, so that the timestamp used for the real token is the same as the
one used for the expected token in the test.

Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
