repogroups: fix private repo recursion check

The purpose of this check is to ensure that we don't recursively assign
"default" user perms for a repo with the "private" flag set (because in
that case, the "default" user perms should always be "no access").

(The check, and this fix, is of course only applicable to Kallithea
instances that have anonymous access enabled to begin with.)

However, the check was only functional if the user was specified as a
username. This is apparently always the case when Kallithea is running,
but was not e.g. the case in the test suite, which consistently passed
a user ID instead of a username.

This commit ensures that the user is always resolved before the check is
made. There's no significant overhead to this, as the code immediately
calls RepoModel().grant_user_permission, which resolved the user anyway.
This change just moves the database lookup a bit earlier.

Fixing this revealed the matching test case to be broken, so it has been
fixed as well.

Down the road, we should eliminate Kallithea's bizarre practice of
passing around usernames and user IDs, in favor of passing actual User
objects. That'll get rid of mistakes like these, as well as repeated
needless database lookups.

===============
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).
