changeset: fix XSS vulnerability in parent-child navigation
The 'Parent Rev.' - 'Child Rev.' links on changesets and in the file browser
normally immediately jump to the correct revision upon click. But, if there
are multiple candidates, e.g. two children of a commit, then a list of
revisions is shown as hyperlinks instead.
These hyperlinks have a 'title' attribute containing the full commit message
of the corresponding commit. When this commit message contains characters
special to HTML, like ", >, etc. they were added literally to the HTML code.
This can lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when an attacker
has write access to a repository. They could craft a special commit message
that would introduce HTML and/or JavaScript code when the commit is listed
in such 'parent-child' navigation links.
Escape the commit message before using it further.

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.
