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>

Embedded data extraction tool
Gitea's executable contains all the resources required to run: templates, images, style-sheets
and translations. Any of them can be overridden by placing a replacement in a matching path
inside the custom directory (see Customizing Gitea).
To obtain a copy of the embedded resources ready for editing, the embedded command from the CLI
can be used from the OS shell interface.
NOTE: The embedded data extraction tool is included in Gitea versions 1.12 and above.
Listing resources
To list resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:
gitea embedded list [--include-vendored] [patterns...]
The --include-vendored flag makes the command include vendored files, which are
normally excluded; that is, files from external libraries that are required for Gitea
(e.g. octicons, etc).
A list of file search patterns can be provided. Gitea uses gobwas/glob for its glob syntax. Here are some examples:
- List all template files, in any virtual directory:
**.tmpl - List all mail template files:
templates/mail/**.tmpl - List all files inside
public/assets/img:public/assets/img/**
Don't forget to use quotes for the patterns, as spaces, * and other characters might have
a special meaning for your command shell.
If no pattern is provided, all files are listed.
Example
Listing all embedded files with openid in their path:
$ gitea embedded list '**openid**'
public/assets/img/auth/openid_connect.svg
public/assets/img/openid-16x16.png
templates/user/auth/finalize_openid.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signin_openid.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_connect.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_navbar.tmpl
templates/user/auth/signup_openid_register.tmpl
templates/user/settings/security_openid.tmpl
Extracting resources
To extract resources embedded in Gitea's executable, use the following syntax:
gitea [--config {file}] embedded extract [--destination {dir}|--custom] [--overwrite|--rename] [--include-vendored] {patterns...}
The --config option tells Gitea the location of the app.ini configuration file if
it's not in its default location. This option is only used with the --custom flag.
The --destination option tells Gitea the directory where the files must be extracted to.
The default is the current directory.
The --custom flag tells Gitea to extract the files directly into the custom directory.
For this to work, the command needs to know the location of the app.ini configuration
file (--config) and, depending of the configuration, be ran from the directory where
Gitea normally starts. See Customizing Gitea for details.
The --overwrite flag allows any existing files in the destination directory to be overwritten.
The --rename flag tells Gitea to rename any existing files in the destination directory
as filename.bak. Previous .bak files are overwritten.
At least one file search pattern must be provided; see list subcomand above for pattern
syntax and examples.
Important notice
Make sure to only extract those files that require customization. Files that
are present in the custom directory are not upgraded by Gitea's upgrade process.
When Gitea is upgraded to a new version (by replacing the executable), many of the
embedded files will suffer changes. Gitea will honor and use any files found
in the custom directory, even if they are old and incompatible.
Example
Extracting mail templates to a temporary directory:
$ mkdir tempdir
$ gitea embedded extract --destination tempdir 'templates/mail/**.tmpl'
Extracting to tempdir:
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/activate_email.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/register_notify.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/auth/reset_passwd.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/assigned.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/issue/default.tmpl
tempdir/templates/mail/notify/collaborator.tmpl
