tests: use temporary copy of test.ini, possibly customized for TEST_DB

It was an undocumented feature that if setting the environment variable
TEST_DB, that would be used for tests instead of the default
kallithea/tests/test.ini sqlalchemy.url . That did however not work for Git
hooks and tests would fail.

Instead, create a copy of test.ini in the temp folder and use that for testing.
If TEST_DB is set, edit the file so the specified DB URL is used. This fixes
Git hook related tests if TEST_DB is used.

Since this also changes the path of %(here)s to the temporary location, just
use the default paths.

This also has the advantage that the data folders are now in the temp folder
as well. Therefore a broken data folder, from a past run, can no longer
influence a test.
.. _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.
