Tests fail when a request writes outside request.ctx.db.write() (#864)
* Tests fail when a request writes outside request.ctx.db.write()

A request's transaction begins deferred.  A write in it after a read fails
instantly ("database is locked") when another connection wrote in between,
and a write left for the response middleware's commit can be lost after the
response was sent.  #846-#853 and #863 moved handlers' writes into
request.ctx.db.write(); this keeps it that way.

Under pytest, a listener records every INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/REPLACE made
while a request runs (or in a task it started) outside RequestDB.write()
or get_db_session(commit=True), and the autouse no_deferred_request_writes
fixture fails the test.  allow_deferred_request_writes opts a test out.
The test-only response listener now runs switches outside the request,
as production's perpetual process does.

It found three more:
- DELETE /api/zim/<ids> deleted the .zim file, returned 204, then lost the
  row's delete when the middleware's commit failed under contention.  It
  now writes in request.ctx.db.write().
- Viewing a file recorded the view in a background task on the request's
  Session, after the request ended.  set_file_viewed opens its own write.
- tags.import_config (startup and config import) read, then wrote, in a
  deferred get_db_session().  It now begins as a writer.

* Tasks don't inherit a declared write; tags import change backed out

From review of #864:

- background_task's task copied its creator's Context, including
  _write_intent when started inside get_db_session(commit=True) or
  RequestDB.write(), so the guard ignored the task's own writes for its
  lifetime.  The task now starts with no declared write.  That exposes
  fetch_channel_source_id (started by the channels config import): it read
  the Channel, asked the remote site for its source_id, then committed in
  the same deferred transaction.  It now reads, fetches with no
  transaction open, then writes in a short get_db_session(commit=True).
- tags.import_config: commit=True held the write lock through its directory
  walk, and its exit commit saved changes the need_commit gate used to
  drop.  Reverted to master; splitting its reads from a short write is its
  own change.  The two tests that run it through a request are marked
  allow_deferred_request_writes until then.
