css: fix redundant/overly broad rules

Remove rule coloring "#content div.panel div.panel-heading .pull-left a"
(and ditto .pull-right) white, as it caused the branch filter drop-down
box on the changelog page to become white-on-white.

I have not found anywhere this rule actually serves a purpose.

On several pages, the rules matched our standard grey buttons, but was
overruled by an !important style for .btn elements.

On repository group pages, it matches the repo group parent path link,
and in /_admin/journal, it matches the "Watched Repositories" and "My
Repositories" links; but all of these are already white from the
"#content div.panel div.panel-heading a" rule.

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

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

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


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file 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
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
