setup: use old importlib_metadata version to fix kombu failing on python < 3.8

Many libraries use the importlib_metadata library as fallback when running on
Python versions older than 3.8 . For example setuptools when easy_install is
used for install the Kallithea console_scripts entrypoints in the bin folder.
The dependencies on importlib_metadata were indirect and without constrains on
version number.

The problem is that Celery uses Kombu, which (on Python < 3.8) uses
importlib_metadata in a way that is incompatible with importlib_metadata > 5.

Most obvious, building docs failed as:
Running Sphinx v5.1.1

Configuration error:
There is a programmable error in your configuration file:

That made readthedocs builds fail, when it in the default web configuration
used Python 3.7 .

Fixed by introducing an explicit dependency on importlib_metadata < 5.
.. _statistics:

=====================
Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
