ui: show toggleable "Follow" status in repo groups' repo list

It makes sense to show Follow status next to repo names in the repo list, and
it is a meaningful and efficient bulk operation to toggle Follow status there.

Clicking on the (Un)Follow 'heart' will toggle the caller's follow status for
that repo.

The repo model already has layering violations - expand on them to compute the
follow status of the current user.

(Changeset was cherry picked and modified by Mads Kiilerich.)

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.
