This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

Clone filters (partial clone)
Git introduces --filter option to git clone command, which filters out
large files and objects (such as blobs) to create partial clone of a repo.
Clone filters are especially useful for large repo and/or metered connection,
where full clone (without --filter) can be expensive (as all history data
must be downloaded).
This requires Git version 2.22 or later, both on the Gitea server and on the client. For clone filters to work properly, make sure that Git version on the client is at least the same as on the server (or later). Login to Gitea server as admin and head to Site Administration -> Configuration to see Git version of the server.
By default, clone filters are enabled, unless DISABLE_PARTIAL_CLONE under
[git] is set to true.
See GitHub blog post: Get up to speed with partial clone for common use cases of clone filters (blobless and treeless clones), and GitLab docs for partial clone for more advanced use cases (such as filter by file size and remove filters to turn partial clone into full clone).
