This was trickier than expected, due to some side effects : when the captcha is set to `True` via configuration, it doesn't change the behavior directly of the ProjectForm class, but does so only when the project form is used in the `web.py` module. So, when just using the API (and not using the web.py module, for instance during tests — manual or functional), no problem was shown, and everything was working properly. But at soon as somebody sees the "/" endpoint, the captcha was required, by both the API and the `web.py` module. This fixes it by adding a way to bypass the captcha with a new `bypass_captcha` property on the form.

Wow, this is a good heisenbug! Maybe we should get rid of that |
|
Hmm, that's correct. I believe we should merge this and change the way we handle this captcha thing in another pull request. I opened a new bug for this. |
|
Actually, I changed the way things were implemented for the Captcha. It's a lot more clear this way, thanks @zorun for the review 👍 |

Prior to this commit, things were done by activating or deactivating a "captcha" property on the class on-the-fly, which caused side-effects. This is now using subclasses, which makes the code simpler to understand, and less prone to side-effects. Thanks @zorun for the idea.
