db: introduce db-create --reuse option

Support use of an existing database so the Kallithea database user doesn't have
to be granted permissions to create databases.

The existing database must of course have been created "correctly", for example
using the right charset and collation on MariaDB/MySQL. Creating the database
manually also provides a way to avoid the hardcoded defaults.
.. _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.
