auth: construct AuthUser from either user_id or db.User object

If the caller already has the database User object, there's no reason
for AuthUser to look it up again.

The `api_key` lookup functionality is dropped, because 1) it's only
used in one place, and 2) it's simple enough for the caller to do the
lookup itself.

The `user_id` lookup functionality is kept, because 1) it's frequently
used, and 2) far from a simple `User.get(id)` lookup, it has a complex
interaction with UserModel. (That cleanup will have to wait for another
day.)

All calls of the form `AuthUser(user_id=x.user_id)` can be replaced with
`AuthUser(dbuser=x)`, assuming `x` is a db.User. However, verifying that
assumption requires a manual audit of every call site, since `x` might
also be another `AuthUser` object, for instance. Therefore, only the
most obvious call sites have been fixed here.

.. _statistics:

=====================
Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a ``repository statistics`` feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
