less: use .label and .label-* style instead of custom .*tag

This reduces the code and makes it more consistent.

Visualy this results in bold texts (which in case of small fonts is easier to read)
and a bit more padding left and right.

For a proper spacing, this requires to remove whitespaces before and after
the texts inside the labels.

Since the name changed from tag to label, also rename the variables and functions.

==================
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`` flag.
The hg/git commands ``hg/git clone``, ``hg/git pull``,
and ``hg/git push`` influence this state:

- A ``clone`` or ``pull`` action locks the target repository
  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 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 will mention 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.
