setup: limit WebTest version to <2.0

Running
pip install -e .
in a clean environment (or --upgrade), would cause:
"ContextualVersionConflict: (WebOb 1.1.1 (.../lib/python2.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('WebOb>=1.2'), set(['WebTest']))"

setup.py required webob>=1.0.8,<=1.1.1 which pip resolved as WebOb==1.1.1.
setup.py required Pylons which requires WebTest>=1.3.1. Pip would thus install
the latest WebTest-2.0.23 ... which however has a WebOb>=1.2 dependency.
Pip only makes one pass at resolving dependencies and it would not resolve or
notice this inconsistency.

This problem came with dd676fdeda0f which moved pinning of WebTest 1.4.3 out of
setup.py.

Since Pylons require webtest anyway, there is no point in having it as a dev
requirement only - put it back in setup.py.

This might just be a temporary workaround until the WebOb version is updated.

Original patch by Dominik has been rewritten by Mads.

.. _locking:

==================
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.
