It was quite painful yesterday to try to figure out why my workflow didn't work anymore after the Forgejo migration. Turns out that `gitea/act_runner` used a different default Docker image. With this PR, it should be clearer to other people what is the meaning of the labels.

This PR extends the examples that were provided by @earl-warren in https://codeberg.org/forgejo/runner. I've tested this configuration twice today on two completely separate servers. For more information about the whole process that I've used, see https://huijzer.xyz/posts/forgejo-setup/.
I'll try to extract upstream a bit more information to the Forgejo docs. Feel free to take anything from my blog that seems useful and don't worry about credits. Feel free to copy whatever seems useful.

It doesn't feel right to have such guide on the installation page, it
feels more natural to have it's own page. This also keeps the
'installation' page clean, which currently feels more like an index
page, given it's linking to two other pages (installation from {binary,docker}).
Preview: https://forgejo.codeberg.page/@docs_pull_427/docs/next/admin/customization/
---
The previous version of this document insinuated that you need to be
familiar with Forgejo's source code and compile Forgejo from source
for custom branding changes. As of the most recent Forgejo version,
this is not necessarily true, as custom files can be served from
the CustomPath.
Administrators that were not developers therefore dismissed the
other guide and its contents without reading this, and I was one
of them. I thought it would make sense for this file to provide
information on where to put a custom logo. This change does not
fix it (this will be done later), but it will reduce the confusion
for now.
This warning confused me personally and other Forgejo users, as I
had one person tell me IRL that they thought that it was not possible
to serve a custom logo.

In `admin/database-preparation` suggest `utf8mb4_bin` as the collate
function, rather than `utf8mb4_unicode_ci`. The former is accent- and
case sensitive, while the latter isn't, and Forgejo assumes that columns
are case sensitive.
Also add a short paragraph explaining why `utf8mb4_bin` is
suggested (case sensitivity), and what problems may arise and why if
case insensitive collation is used.
This partially addresses forgejo/forgejo#2039.

The upcoming 3.1 release of the Forgeo runner will allow to specify
which template and release must be must be used for a LXC
container. It also defines the lxc:// scheme as distinct from the
host:// scheme.
The host:// scheme is documented to be used for running jobs directly
from the host, which was not possible with the Forgejo runner versions
prior to 3.1
- [Shiki](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki) doesn't support highlighting
Go templates, so instead use handlebars template highlighting for this
code snippet.
- split the installation page into separate pages for Docker, binary install, and packages
- clarify the next step is the installation page via the web
- clarify the first user created has admin rights
- clarify how values in the config sheet are provided when using Docker installation
- explain database preparation can be skipped if using SQLite which is built-in

See 9b698362a3
Also remove the token line from the .runner file. It is confusing and
difficult to explain because it is different from the registration
token. It really is a shared secret between the runner and the Forgejo
instance that has a purpose which is entirely different.
The original documentation was written with a focus on local storage
and missed a few important aspects of how storage types can be mixed
together in some subsystems.
* unify the susbsystem paths to be "directory" instead of using "base
path". It is not technically a directory in S3 but looks like one
and the approximation is unlikely to cause confusion.
* use S3 instead of minio where possible to emphasize the storage type
is not MinIO specific and add a section for the compatibility with
garage
* change the document structure to have two separate parts:
* [storage] the global sections
* [xxxx] the subsystem specific section
and within each of them local and S3 are documented separately
because they share nothing
* [storage] is documented to be a fallback if [xxxx] does not exist
for a given subsystem. There is no notion of inheritance because
it behaves in ways that are not tested and for which consistency is
not guaranteed
* backward compatibility with Gitea is documented to be the reason why
there are no safeguards against undocumented features
Clarified version check endpoint parameters. HTTP_ENDPOINT is now deprecated

- This is a Forgejo-specific option and the associated pull request is
- https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1284.
- Adding a recommendation to set it to a lower value if an administrator
is investigating poor database performance with Forgejo.
