utils: let make_ui return an empty ui.ui() object if the requested hgrc file isn't present

89c30b145bb8 lost an "if repoui" in simplehg, and Kallithea would thus fail on
serving repos without a .hg/hgrc :

File ".../kallithea/lib/middleware/simplehg.py", line 285, in _augment_hgrc
for k, v in repoui.configitems(section):
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'configitems'

It is *only* simplehg that invoke make_ui with read_from 'file'. In this case
it could return False if the requested file wasn't present.

It was odd and inconsistent that make_ui with read_from 'file' either returned
an ui object or the value False.

To fix the problem, just let make_ui return the empty ui.ui() if no .hg/hgrc is
present. An ui object that just doesn't have any config sections is much better
than any alternative.

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
