docs: suggest creating a new virtual environment for major upgrades

While not strictly necessary, it may be interesting to start from a new
virtualenv rather than upgrading inside the old one. This will remove old
packages once installed manually but no longer necessary. At the same time,
it makes a rollback of the upgrade process more easy.

Update the upgrade instructions to this effect.

.. _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.
