[repo] move repo stats to Service (closes #2951067) We currently add a new method on repo that anyone can call. Call service allows to reach the same result with: * Restricted access to manager only (thanks to selection on services), * Less unrelated code on the repo. * No need to fetch a reference to a repo object from client side. `req._cnx.repo` is not an API and config.repository() is on its way out. The old way to access this information (repo.stats()) is deprecated.

What's new in CubicWeb 4.0?
============================

API changes
-----------

* ``RepositorySessionManager.postlogin`` is now called with two arguments,
  request and session. And this now happens before the session is linked to the
  request.

* ``SessionManager`` and ``AuthenticationManager`` now take a repo object at
  initialization time instead of a vreg.

* The ``async`` argument of ``_cw.call_service`` have been dropped. All call are
  now  synchronous. The zmq notification bus looks like a good replacement for
  most async usecase.

* ``repo.stats()`` is now deprecated. The same information are available through
  a service (``_cw.call_service('repo_stats')``)


Deprecated Code Drops
----------------------

* The ldapuser source has been dropped. ldapfeed is the only official source
  remaining for ldap.

* session.hijack_user mechanism has been dropped.
