auth: return early in LoginRequired on invalid IP
Simplify the code of the LoginRequired decorator by returning early when an
unacceptable condition is met.
Note: the 'return' of redirect_to_login() is not strictly needed since we
should not return from that function (redirection occurs). Adding it,
however, is a security measure in case redirect_to_login does not do what it
should do.

==================
Repository locking
==================
Kallithea has a ``repository locking`` feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, every initial clone and every pull gives users (with write permission)
the exclusive right to do a push.
When repository locking is enabled, repositories get a ``locked`` state that
can be true or false. The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:
- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action on the repository locks it (``locked=true``)
if the user has write/admin permissions on this repository.
- Kallithea will remember the user who locked the repository so only this
specific user can unlock the repo (``locked=false``) by performing a ``push``
command.
- Every other command on a locked repository from this user and every command
from any other user will result in an HTTP return code 423 (Locked).
Additionally, the HTTP error includes the <user> that locked the repository
(e.g., “repository <repo> locked by user <user>”).
Each repository can be manually unlocked by an administrator from the
repository settings menu.
