docs: move all instructions on Celery to Setup

Instead of having some info on Celery in both Installation and Setup, move
everything to Setup and do some rewrite.

Additionally, update some outdated URLs and remove unused link targets.

.. _git_support:

===========
GIT support
===========


Kallithea Git support is enabled by default. You just need a git
command line client installed on the server to make Git work fully.

Web server with chunked encoding
--------------------------------

Large Git pushes do however require a http server with support for chunked encoding for POST.

The Python web servers waitress_ and gunicorn_ (linux only) can be used.
By default, Kallithea uses waitress_ for `paster serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI server. 

The default paste server is controlled in the .ini file::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main


Also make sure to comment out the following options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =


Disabling Git
-------------

You can always disable git/hg support by editing a
file **kallithea/__init__.py** and commenting out the backend.

.. code-block:: python

   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }
