db: make sure all (non-primary) columns have nullable set explicitly

The default of nullable=True is rarely good for us so nullable should always be
specified unless there is a reason to allow nullable ... and if the default is
fine, xplicit is better than implicit.

The declared nulliness of some fields are changed where it seems like code
already enforced it.

Some fields are marked as FIXME when they need (trivial?) data conversion to
convert NULLs to default values.

.. _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.
