tests: add Jenkinsfile for automatic creation of Jenkins projects for testing Kallithea itself

This is the new way of how to build and run tests with jenkins.
It runs pylint and py.test with 4 different settings:
1. default
2. with German language settings
3. with MySQL DB
4. with PostgreSQL DB

A major advantage of this new Jenkinsfile approach is that Jenkins will be able
to automatically create new projects for each branch (or pull request) that
contains a jenkinsfile. There is thus no need for maintaining multiple jenkins
projects.

==================
Repository locking
==================

Kallithea has a *repository locking* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.

When repository locking is enabled, repositories get a ``locked`` flag.
The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action locks the target repository
  if the user has write/admin permissions on this repository.

- Kallithea will remember the user who locked the repository so only this
  specific user can unlock the repo by performing a ``push``
  command.

- Every other command on a locked repository from this user and every command
  from any other user will result in an HTTP return code 423 (Locked).
  Additionally, the HTTP error will mention the user that locked the repository
  (e.g., “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”).

Each repository can be manually unlocked by an administrator from the
repository settings menu.
