repo: introduce enable_downloads and enable_statistics when creating repos

These booleans were not shown in the normal repo creation form, so the form
validation applied the "default" values of False. These values were however not
used by the model when creating repos - it just unconditionally used the real
global defaults.

The API already exposed some of this, but it wasn't implemented.

The web form for creating repos lacked these fields, but it was present in the
repo edit form. Just make these fields mandatory. There will thus not be any
defaults to apply in the model for creating repos.

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.
