api: stop using 'Optional', 'OAttr'/'OptionalAttr' classes
There does not seem to be a good reason to use the 'Optional' and
'OptionalAttr' classes.
It makes the code harder to understand. And worse, the 'default value'
specified is not always used, which can thus give false information to
users.
The way Optional was used in the API calls is twofold:
1.either by effectively extracting a value, via Optional.extract(param).
If 'param' was indeed specified by the user, then this would yield that
user-specified value. Otherwise, it would yield the value declared in the
parameter declaration, e.g. param=Optional(defaultvalue).
2.or by checking if a variable is an instance of the Optional class. In case
a user effectively passed a value, this value will not be of the
Optional class. So if a parameter is an object of class Optional, we know
the user did not pass a value, and we can apply some default.
In the declaration of the parameter, the specified default value will only
be used if the 'extract' method is used, i.e. method 1 above.
A simpler way to address this problem of default values is just with Python
default values, using 'None' as magic value if the default will be
calculated inside the method.
The docstrings still specify something like:
type: Optional(bool)
which is humanly readable and does not necessarily refer to a class called
'Optional', so such strings are kept.

Troubleshooting
===============
:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
for example:
``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``
|
:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
Try out the great Celery docs for further help.
|
:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.
|
:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
body.
|
:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.
|
:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.
|
:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
and Mercurial.
|
:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.
|
:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.
|
:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
