utils: when building a Mercurial ui object with configuration, don't use 'None' for NULL values

If Ui had an entry with
ui_section='extensions', ui_key='largefiles', ui_value=NULL
it would be passed to Mercurial as if the .ini file had
[extensions]
largefiles = None
and it would fail to load the largefiles extension because it couldn't find
'./None/'.

Note: get_current_revision might currently mask this problem. It will not get
the Ui from the database and will thus read a normal .ini file from the system
and (if configured) read the largefiles extension from the default location.
That will make the largefiles extension available for later largefiles imports
even if they specify the bogus path.

As f8a714c2c5a1 noted in a FIXME: ui_value should perhaps not be nullable.

For now, just handle NULL in extension configuration.

.. _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.
