1. remove `TEST_CONFLICTING_PATCHES_WITH_GIT_APPLY`
* it defaults to false and is unlikely to be useful for most users (see
#22130)
* with new git versions (>= 2.40), "merge-tree" is used,
"checkConflictsByTmpRepo" isn't called, the option does nothing.
2. fix fragile `db.Cell2Int64` (new: `CellToInt`)
3. allow more routes in maintenance mode (e.g.: captcha)
4. fix MockLocale html escaping to make it have the same behavior as
production locale
Clarify when "string" should be used (and be escaped), and when
"template.HTML" should be used (no need to escape)
And help PRs like #29059 , to render the error messages correctly.
