These two commits mostly fix issue #159.

By defaut, SQLAlchemy uses lazy loading, which means that displaying n
bills will generate around n queries (to get the list of owers of each
bill).  Pre-load the list of owers to drastically decrease the number of
SQL queries.

Before this commit: 1004 SQL queries, 7535 ms elapsed time, 7536 ms CPU time, 530 ms SQL time

After this commit: 5 SQL queries, 3342 ms elapsed time, 3393 ms CPU time, 15 ms SQL time

Measured request: display the list of all bills for the project (without displaying the sidebar with balances)

Test setup to measure performance improvement:

- 5 users with various weights
- 1000 bills, each paid by a random user, each involving all 5 users
- laptop with Celeron [email protected] GHz, SSD Samsung 850 EVO
- sqlite database on SSD, using sqlite 3.15.2
- python 2.7.13
- Flask-DebugToolbar 0.10.0 (to count SQL queries and loading time)

Performance measurements (using Flask-DebugToolbar with the second
request, to avoid measuring cold-cache performance):

- number of SQL queries
- elapsed time (from request to response)
- total CPU time consumed by the server handling the request
- total time spent on SQL queries (as reported by SQLAlchemy)
This avoids creating thousands of small SQL queries when computing the
balance of users.  This significantly improves the performance of
displaying the main page of a project, since the balance of users is
displayed there:

    Before this commit: 4004 SQL queries, 19793 ms elapsed time, 19753 ms CPU time, 2094 ms SQL time
    After this commit:    12 SQL queries,  3688 ms elapsed time,  3753 ms CPU time,   50 ms SQL time
    Measured request:   display the sidebar with the balance of all users for the project (without displaying the list of bills)

This commit also greatly improves the performance of the "settle bills" page:

    Before this commit: 8006 SQL queries, 39167 ms elapsed time, 39600 ms CPU time, 4141 ms SQL time
    After this commit:    22 SQL queries,  7144 ms elapsed time,  7283 ms CPU time,   96 ms SQL time
    Measured request:   display the "Settle bills" page

Just tested your branch, with a database of 1000 bills. This is really good ! I was going to run some numbers to show the improvements, but I saw you already have a nice summary on your commit message.
