middleware: fix handling of Git 'info/refs' command to give correct access control

For a pull, the Git client first sends an 'info/refs' command with a
'service=git-upload-pack' query, then it sends the actual 'git-upload-pack'
command.

For a push, the Git client first sends an 'info/refs' command with a
'service=git-receive-pack' query, then it sends the actual 'git-receive-pack'
command.

Before, the 'info/refs' commands would fall back to the default of trying to
use the action of the previous request. That seems wrong.

Instead, authorize the 'info/refs' command just like the actual command it
references.

path_info will now be checked more than before. Mainly because that is more
correct and more explicit and "better" to do it that way. It might also give
some safety.

.. _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.
