[etwist] Do not call repository's start_looping_tasks anymore and warn about this We are about to drop this method from Repository class and replace it by a blocking alternative. This is not compatible with how things currently work in a Twisted server implementation. So do not start repository "looping tasks" in Twisted server anymore and issue a warning about this. If someone is interested in restoring the "all-in-one" behavior where the repository runs within a Twisted server, they may start by implementing repository looping tasks using a Twisted mechanism such as, e.g., http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/time.html and eventually provide the repository with a compatible scheduler instance so that is can register its periodic tasks. At the moment, we lack resources to do this (and maintain the Twisted server of CubicWeb in general). Related to #17057223.

[test] Flake8-clean and use stdlib unittest in cubicweb/server/test/unittest_utils.py

[web] Don't raise ProcessFormError if there is no value specified a03376213747 introduced a slight modification in None / empty string values and with it a regression where an exception is raised on empty values, while we should simply consider no value is specified and return None.

[test] Cleanup imports in unittest_form Remove unused and reorder, + use bare unittest along the way.

Fix log level parameter not taken into account in cwsource log table An error in the jquery selector of the html widget controlling the log level was the cause of this bug. Closes #15772634 (grafted from c9129aae884b476455c8ed1ad802efc3a26503a5)

[pyramid] Drop call to repository's start_looping_tasks method and warn about this We are about to drop the start_looping_tasks method and running "looping tasks" along the WSGI application is not a very good idea. So issue a warning pointing to the forthcoming "scheduler" command. Related to #17057223.

[test] Make unittest_serverctl.py flake8-clean

[wsgi] Drop calls to repo.start_looping_tasks It's unlikely that these implementations were ever used so we do not bother with deprecation or a warning. We just drop the call to this method which should not be called from within a WSGI application. Related to #17057223.
