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.)

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.
