py3: work around incompatibility between pytest, py3 inspect, and tg

Work around an issue that has been reported on
https://github.com/TurboGears/tg2/issues/118 :

.../site-packages/_pytest/doctest.py:381: in _mock_aware_unwrap
return real_unwrap(obj, stop=_is_mocked)
/usr/lib64/python3.7/inspect.py:511: in unwrap
while _is_wrapper(func):
/usr/lib64/python3.7/inspect.py:505: in _is_wrapper
return hasattr(f, '__wrapped__') and not stop(f)
.../site-packages/tg/support/objectproxy.py:19: in __getattr__
return getattr(self._current_obj(), attr)
.../site-packages/tg/request_local.py:240: in _current_obj
return getattr(context, self.name)
.../site-packages/tg/support/objectproxy.py:19: in __getattr__
return getattr(self._current_obj(), attr)
.../site-packages/tg/support/registry.py:72: in _current_obj
'thread' % self.____name__)
E TypeError: No object (name: context) has been registered for this thread

pytest's doctest support is (in _mock_aware_unwrap) using py3 inspect.

Inside inspect, _is_wrapper will do an innocent looking:
hasattr(f, '__wrapped__')

But if the code under test has un (unused) import of a tg context (such as
tg.request), it is no longer so innocent. tg will throw:
TypeError: No object (name: context) has been registered for this thread
(which in py2 would have caught by hasattr, but not in py3.)

pytest will thus fail already in the "collecting ..." phase.

To work around that, use the hack of pushing a tg context in the top level
pytest_configure.

.. _vcs_setup:

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================

Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.

You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:

.. code-block:: python

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


Git-specific setup
------------------


Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Large Git pushes require an 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 `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.

The web server used by gearbox 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 =

Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::

    git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
