Sometimes the downtime due to the upgrade or error can be noticable to the users, so the well behaving application should have some kind of maintenance mode to inform the users. This commit contains simple web page with capabilites of variable substitutions (to insert separately generated timestamps about the duration of the downtime), an example site configuration for Apache web server and updated documentation page about sustem upgrade.

More details about this improvement are in related Redmine issue. In short summary the idea is to improve performance of searching events by addresses by adding dedicated aggregated IP range columns and use these to narrow the search data. (Redmine issue: #4277)

  the RetryingQuery was introduced to make SQLAlchemy to retry the
  intended operation on DB failure. This should be asserted in a few
  more places to be actually used all the time.

Users will now be aware, that there are more functions available to them after login.

Context search action groups are now more specific for searching from event dashboards and report detail, the dt_from and dt_to parameters are now pre-filled with available values. This patch also fixes the long lasting bug in DateTime search form fields. (Redmine issue: #5341,#4518)

* This is not a complete fix as there is a race condition and if the timing
  is right, some events are still not stored properly. Also, if the DB outage
  is longer, the error queue grows.
* This allows for recovery once the DB is running again.

* The enricher plugin's WhoIs module is reloading configuration from the DB
  periodically, what results in delayed failure after DB restart. This allows
  for reconnection in that case, effectively eliminating the issue.
* SQLAlchemy's Query class is extended to RetryingQuery and that one is used
  instead for the DB sessions.
