auth: always consider the repo group owner an admin when computing it's permissions

When computing repo group permissions in repository_group_permissions(), always
give admin permissions to the group owner.

That is similar to how repository_permissions() gives admin permissions to the
repo owner.

The extra computation shouldn't cause any extra database hits or make the
computation more complex or expensive, so that should be fine for stable.

Note: This will leave behind some (automaticly added) explicit permissions. I
consider this a very minor glitch, not worth addressing.

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.
