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.

# npm Packages Repository
Publish [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) packages for your user or organization.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc >}}
## Requirements
To work with the npm package registry, you need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) coupled with a package manager such as [Yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) or [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm/) itself.
The registry supports [scoped](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope/) and unscoped packages.
The following examples use the `npm` tool with the scope `@test`.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry you need to configure a new package source.
```shell
npm config set {scope}:registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/npm/:_authToken' "{token}"
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| `scope` | The scope of the packages. |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `token` | Your [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}). |
For example:
```shell
npm config set @test:registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/:_authToken' "personal_access_token"
```
or without scope:
```shell
npm config set registry https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/npm/:_authToken' "personal_access_token"
```
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command in your project:
```shell
npm publish
```
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
## Unpublish a package
Delete a package by running the following command:
```shell
npm unpublish {package_name}[@{package_version}]
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `package_version` | The package version. |
For example:
```shell
npm unpublish @test/test_package
npm unpublish @test/test_package@1.0.0
```
## Install a package
To install a package from the package registry, execute the following command:
```shell
npm install {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```shell
npm install @test/test_package
```
## Tag a package
The registry supports [version tags](https://docs.npmjs.com/adding-dist-tags-to-packages/) which can be managed by `npm dist-tag`:
```shell
npm dist-tag add {package_name}@{version} {tag}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
| `version` | The version of the package. |
| `tag` | The tag name. |
For example:
```shell
npm dist-tag add test_package@1.0.2 release
```
The tag name must not be a valid version. All tag names which are parsable as a version are rejected.
## Search packages
The registry supports [searching](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-search/) but does not support special search qualifiers like `author:gitea`.
## Supported commands
```
npm install
npm ci
npm publish
npm unpublish
npm dist-tag
npm view
npm search
```
