cache: drop setup_cache_regions - tg will already have done that and coerced the types correctly

The configuration and type fixing will be invoked from make_base_app, and we
will thus not have to do it:

File "kallithea/config/middleware.py", line 31, in make_app_without_logging
return make_base_app(global_conf, full_stack=full_stack, **app_conf)
File ".../python3.7/site-packages/tg/configuration/app_config.py", line 176, in make_base_app
wrap_app)
File ".../python3.7/site-packages/tg/configurator/application.py", line 112, in _make_app
app = TGApp(conf)
File ".../python3.7/site-packages/tg/wsgiapp.py", line 49, in __init__
app_wrapper = wrapper(self.wrapped_dispatch, self.config)
File ".../python3.7/site-packages/tg/appwrappers/caching.py", line 36, in __init__
self.options = parse_cache_config_options(config)
File ".../python3.7/site-packages/beaker/util.py", line 430, in parse_cache_config_options

This will fix a py3 problem where setup_cache_regions was run *after* beaker
had coerced types, thus introducing string types in the config where beaker
expected the integers it had put there.

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================

Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.

You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:

.. code-block:: python

   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }


Git-specific setup
------------------


Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.

The web server used by gearbox is controlled in the .ini file::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main

Also make sure to comment out the following options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =

Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::

    git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
