controllers: don't pass rendered templates in context variables

Some controllers used the followifng pattern:
- render a data template into a context variable
- for partial (ajax) requests, return the contents of this variable
- for full-page requests, render the full page, which expands the value of
the context variable

Instead, avoid context variables let the controller simply render the full or partial page, and let
the full page template include the partial page.

Remove this context variable for templating and use render exclusively.
From templates, use %include instead of context variables.

This in line with the suggestions in the Pylons documentation:

===================
Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encountered problems with Kallithea here are some instructions how to
possibly debug them.

** First make sure you're using the latest version available.**

enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses standard python logging modules to log it's output.
By default only loggers with INFO level are displayed. To enable full output
change `level = DEBUG` for all logging handlers in currently used .ini file.
This change will allow to see much more detailed output in the logfile or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out `set debug = false` in
.ini file, this will trigger and interactive debugger each time there an
error in browser, or send a http link if error occured in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy python console right
in the web view. ** NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION ** the interactive console
can be a serious security threat to you system.
