vcs: introduce 'branches' attribute on changesets, making it possible for Git to show multiple branches for a changeset

Mercurial changesets will always have have exactly one branch (which might be
"default"). The VCS data model was the same.

Git allows for a changeset to have 0 or more branches ... and possibly one of
them as active. The right data model is thus to have an enumerable of branches.

We thus add a 'branches' attribute and use it where applicable.

The existing 'branch' attribute used some heuristics to decide which branch use
as "the" branch ... and in some places code (and tests) rely on that. We thus
keep that old method, knowing that some of its uses probably should move to
'branches'.

The code for retrieving Git branches is based on work by Dominik Ruf.

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.
