This pull request updates the Semantic Versioning mentions in the Forgejo documentation, as discussed in [forgejo/forgejo #2459](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/2459).

It is currently a draft and feedback on how to approach this is appreciated. I think the Forgejo v1.19 section should be renamed to "legacy" or at least mention it due to it being the legacy versioning scheme, and moved below the new SemVer-compliant scheme. You can see how I've done that myself on [my website](https://inferencium.net/about.xhtml#versioning-numbering_scheme) for a taste of how it would look to a user.

[SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) allows users to understand the scope of a software update at first glance, based on the following:
- Patch is increased for backwards-compatible bugfixes.
- Minor is increased for backwards-compatible new features.
- Major is increased for breaking changes.
- `<MAJOR>` is increased for breaking changes.
- `<MINOR>` is increased for backwards-compatible new features.
- `<PATCH>` is increased for backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Changes could be:
- a command, an option or an argument, for a CLI ;
- a route path, a query parameter or a body property, for a REST API ;
- a text node, a button or a field, for a GUI.
- a command, an option or an argument, for a CLI
- a route path, a query parameter or a body property, for a REST API
- a text node, a button or a field, for a GUI
Since Forgejo has all of the above, changes to all of those components should be taken into consideration when creating a new version number.
## Understanding the Forgejo stable semantic version
The structure of the version number is `<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>+gitea-<GITEA VERSION>`, where:
- `<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>` is conformant to [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](https://semver.org/#semantic-versioning-200)
- `gitea-<GITEA VERSION>` is the Gitea version this Forgejo release is compatible with
## Understanding the Forgejo pre-release semantic version
The structure of the version number is `<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>-<PRE-RELEASE>+gitea-<GITEA VERSION>`, where:
- `<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>` is conformant to [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](https://semver.org/#semantic-versioning-200)
- `<PRE-RELEASE>` is the pre-release version, such as a release candidate (`RC`)
- `gitea-<GITEA VERSION>` is the Gitea version this Forgejo release is compatible with
