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.

===============
Troubleshooting
===============

:Q: **Missing static files?**
:A: Make sure either to set the ``static_files = true`` in the .ini file or
   double check the root path for your http setup. It should point to
   for example:
   ``/home/my-virtual-python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kallithea/public``

|

:Q: **Can't install celery/rabbitmq?**
:A: Don't worry. Kallithea works without them, too. No extra setup is required.
    Try out the great Celery docs for further help.

|

:Q: **Long lasting push timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a longer timeout in your proxy/fcgi settings. Timeouts
    are caused by the http server and not Kallithea.

|

:Q: **Large pushes timeouts?**
:A: Make sure you set a proper ``max_body_size`` for the http server. Very often
    Apache, Nginx, or other http servers kill the connection due to to large
    body.

|

:Q: **Apache doesn't pass basicAuth on pull/push?**
:A: Make sure you added ``WSGIPassAuthorization true``.

|

:Q: **Git fails on push/pull?**
:A: Make sure you're using a WSGI http server that can handle chunked encoding
    such as ``waitress`` or ``gunicorn``.

|

:Q: **How can I use hooks in Kallithea?**
:A: It's easy if they are Python hooks: just use advanced link in
    hooks section in Admin panel, that works only for Mercurial. If
    you want to use Git hooks, just install th proper one in the repository,
    e.g., create a file `/gitrepo/hooks/pre-receive`. You can also use
    Kallithea-extensions to connect to callback hooks, for both Git
    and Mercurial.

|

:Q: **Kallithea is slow for me, how can I make it faster?**
:A: See the :ref:`performance` section.

|

:Q: **UnicodeDecodeError on Apache mod_wsgi**
:A: Please read: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#if-you-get-a-unicodeencodeerror.

|

:Q: **Requests hanging on Windows**
:A: Please try out with disabled Antivirus software, there are some known problems with Eset Antivirus. Make sure
    you have installed the latest Windows patches (especially KB2789397).
