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.

.. _troubleshooting:

===============
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/python2.7/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).
