diff: improved handling of Git diffs with " quoting

Kallithea would intentionally and explicitly fail with an ugly exception when
trying to parse Git diffs with quoted filenames.

Improve this by parsing quotes ... and ignore them, as long as they are
matching. The content inside the quotes might be \-escaped ... but that could
potentially also be the case without quoting. We will fix that later.

Adding some test cases that before would have failed to parse and raised an
exception.

Thanks to stypr of Flatt Security for raising this.

.. _statistics:

=====================
Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
