Update to Trac 1.4.x

See release notes.
I'd really like to upgrade, but I think this might get hard because 1.4.x does not seem to allow an easy way to override templates: https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/branches/1.4-stable/trac/web/chrome.py#L1386 This currently puts the default trac templates first in the list, which prevents overriding as far as I can see. In trunk it puts the templates dir from the env first: https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/trac/web/chrome.py#L745
Since 1.6 will be python 3 only, I'd really like to go via 1.4 first. I wonder if it makes sense to fork trac and fix the few things that needs fixing…
Okay, so I started working on this locally. First and foremost there is one problem: We have some views in there that are requested from the tracdb app in djangoproject.com. We need to rewrite those in a way to be compatible first. Working on it.
I've taken @apollo13 's work from #146 and added a few more fixes: #146
I believe Florian's comments about tracdb needing some fixes have been merged: django/djangoproject.com@33093f2. But I'm not 100% sure, and I can't figure out how to test that (even manually).
Trac seems to finally have a Python3-compatible version, so once this is merged, I would like to try to finally upgrade from Python 2.7 (and Django 1.11) to something a bit less ancient 🦕
Fixed in #146 Good work everyone! 🚀
