api: fix 'kallithea-api --save-config'

Commit eca0cb56a822 attempted to fix a type inconsistency, which caused
failure in the 'kallithea-api' tool when using '--save-config', but this
unfortunately did not fix the problem completely.

Following error still appeared:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../bin/kallithea-api", line 33, in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('Kallithea', 'console_scripts', 'kallithea-api')())
File ".../bin/kallithea_api.py", line 84, in main
'apihost': args.apihost})
File ".../bin/base.py", line 104, in __init__
self.make_config(config)
File ".../bin/base.py", line 132, in make_config
ext_json.dump(config, f, indent=4)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 180, in dump
fp.write(chunk)
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

The json module documentation says:
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/json.html#basic-usage
"The json module always produces str objects, not bytes objects. Therefore,
fp.write() must support str input."

Therefore, instead of opening the file in binary mode and writing bytes,
open it in text mode and write strings.

For symmetry reasons, we make the same change when _loading_ the config
file, but this code worked regardless.
.. _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.
