HTML email templates: Outlook: fix width and height attributes to preserve whitespace

The rendering of HTML emails in Outlook is very restricted and based on old
Internet Explorer versions (more or less the same rendering as in Microsoft
Word). To make the Kallithea emails look the same as in the browser, some
adaptations are needed.

HTML width and height attributes do not have any effect, the size is
interpreted as 0px. A CSS-based width and height do work in Outlook and
result in the expected spacing between and within elements of the email.

For Outlook rendering, the CSS variant is probably sufficient, but as it is
unclear how other mail agents will interpret this, leave the HTML width and
height attributes as well.

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