Refactor docs (#23752)
This was intended to be a small followup for
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712, but...here we are.

1. Our docs currently use `slug` as the entire URL, which makes
refactoring tricky (see https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712).
Instead, this PR attempts to make future refactoring easier by using
slugs as an extension of the section. (Hugo terminology)
- What the above boils down to is this PR attempts to use directory
organization as URL management. e.g. `usage/comparison.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/comparison/`, `usage/packages/overview.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/packages/overview/`
- Technically we could even remove `slug`, as Hugo defaults to using
filename, however at least with this PR it means `slug` only needs to be
the name for the **current file** rather than an entire URL
2. This PR adds appropriate aliases (redirects) for pages, so anything
on the internet that links to our docs should hopefully not break.
3. A minor nit I've had for a while, renaming `seek-help` to `support`.
It's a minor thing, but `seek-help` has a strange connotation to it.
4. The commits are split such that you can review the first which is the
"actual" change, and the second is added redirects so that the first
doesn't break links elsewhere.

Repository indexer

Setting up the repository indexer

Gitea can search through the files of the repositories by enabling this function in your app.ini:

[indexer]
; ...
REPO_INDEXER_ENABLED = true
REPO_INDEXER_PATH = indexers/repos.bleve
UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN = 20
MAX_FILE_SIZE = 1048576
REPO_INDEXER_INCLUDE =
REPO_INDEXER_EXCLUDE = resources/bin/**

Please bear in mind that indexing the contents can consume a lot of system resources, especially when the index is created for the first time or globally updated (e.g. after upgrading Gitea).

Choosing the files for indexing by size

The MAX_FILE_SIZE option will make the indexer skip all files larger than the specified value.

Choosing the files for indexing by path

Gitea applies glob pattern matching from the gobwas/glob library to choose which files will be included in the index.

Limiting the list of files prevents the indexes from becoming polluted with derived or irrelevant files (e.g. lss, sym, map, etc.), so the search results are more relevant. It can also help reduce the index size.

REPO_INDEXER_EXCLUDE_VENDORED (default: true) excludes vendored files from index.

REPO_INDEXER_INCLUDE (default: empty) is a comma separated list of glob patterns to include in the index. An empty list means "include all files". REPO_INDEXER_EXCLUDE (default: empty) is a comma separated list of glob patterns to exclude from the index. Files that match this list will not be indexed. REPO_INDEXER_EXCLUDE takes precedence over REPO_INDEXER_INCLUDE.

Pattern matching works as follows:

  • To match all files with a .txt extension no matter what directory, use **.txt.
  • To match all files with a .txt extension only at the root level of the repository, use *.txt.
  • To match all files inside resources/bin and below, use resources/bin/**.
  • To match all files immediately inside resources/bin, use resources/bin/*.
  • To match all files named Makefile, use **Makefile.
  • Matching a directory has no effect; the pattern resources/bin will not include/exclude files inside that directory; resources/bin/** will.
  • All files and patterns are normalized to lower case, so **Makefile, **makefile and **MAKEFILE are equivalent.
