model: simplify how get_commits_stats task group on author

Avoid using the caching h.person . We want to get rid of the model
dependency on helpers.

The stats are persisted, and any temporary incorrectness in the long term
cached h.person will thus remain forever. It is thus arguably better to avoid
using it in this place.

get_commits_stats is also a long running task, so speed is not *that* critical.
And generally, processing commits in order will have a lot of the same
committers, so a local cache will have a good hit rate.

(Alternatively, h.person could perhaps be in user model ... but that's not how
it is now.)
.. _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.
