tests: introduce REUSE_TEST_DB as an alternative to TEST_DB

With TEST_DB, the specified database would be dropped (if existing) and created
from scratch. That would fail if the user only had been granted access to that
database without general database creation permissions.

With REUSE_TEST_DB, the database must exist, and the tables in the existing
database will be deleted before creating the new ones.

This is for example useful for testing on PostgreSQL without full database
privileges. (With MariaDB/MySQL, it is possible to grant create permissions to
a database before it exists, so it is easier to use TEST_DB.)
.. _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.
