ini: drop setting initial_repo_scan

The ini setting 'initial_repo_scan' caused a repository scan on each startup
of Kallithea. The accompanying comment already warns that the feature should
be disabled after the first run to improve startup time.

Now that setup-db is performing the initial repository scan, and considering
that administrators can always request a new scan using 'gearbox repo-scan'
or via the web interface, the 'initial_repo_scan' feature is no longer
considered useful and is removed with this commit.

.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.


Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
