hooks: move the vcs hook entry points and setup code out of lib

Mercurial hooks are running in a process that already has been initialized, so
they invoke the hooks lib directly. Git hooks are binaries and need a lot of
initialization before they can do the same. Move this extra setup code
elsewhere.

Having this high level code in bin is perhaps also not ideal, but it also
doesn't seem that bad: that is where other command line entry points invoke
make_app.

(It seems like it could be adventageous to somehow use "real" bin commands for
hooks ... but for now we use the home-made templates.)

Note: As a side effect of this change, all git hooks *must* be re-installed
when upgrading.
.. _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.
