lib: move locale.py to locales.py to avoid shadowing of standard module

"Fix" spurious problem, seen for example as:

$ python kallithea/lib/annotate.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../lib64/python3.8/site-packages/mercurial/encoding.py", line 107, in <module>
encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding().encode('ascii') or b'ascii'
AttributeError: module 'locale' has no attribute 'getpreferredencoding'

That happened when something in some other module tried to import stdlib locale
... but somehow would pick up the kallithea locale module and things would
fail.

Stay out of that kind of trouble by using a name that doesn't collide.

.. _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.
