Within doArchive there is a service goroutine that performs the
archiving function. This goroutine reports its error using a `chan
error` called `done`. Prior to this PR this channel had 0 capacity
meaning that the goroutine would block until the `done` channel was
cleared - however there are a couple of ways in which this channel might
not be read.
The simplest solution is to add a single space of capacity to the
goroutine which will mean that the goroutine will always complete and
even if the `done` channel is not read it will be simply garbage
collected away.
(The PR also contains two other places when setting up the indexers
which do not leak but where the blocking of the sending goroutine is
also unnecessary and so we should just add a small amount of capacity
and let the sending goroutine complete as soon as it can.)

Follows #19266, #8553, Close #18553, now there are only three `Run..(&RunOpts{})` functions.
* before: `stdout, err := RunInDir(path)`
* now: `stdout, _, err := RunStdString(&git.RunOpts{Dir:path})`
Continues on from #19202.
Following the addition of pprof labels we can now more easily understand the relationship between a goroutine and the requests that spawn them.
This PR takes advantage of the labels and adds a few others, then provides a mechanism for the monitoring page to query the pprof goroutine profile.
The binary profile that results from this profile is immediately piped in to the google library for parsing this and then stack traces are formed for the goroutines.
If the goroutine is within a context or has been created from a goroutine within a process context it will acquire the process description labels for that process.
The goroutines are mapped with there associate pids and any that do not have an associated pid are placed in a group at the bottom as unbound.
In this way we should be able to more easily examine goroutines that have been stuck.
A manager command `gitea manager processes` is also provided that can export the processes (with or without stacktraces) to the command line.

The RepoIndexerTest is failing with considerable frequency due to a race inherrent in
its design. This PR adjust this test to avoid the reliance on waiting for the populate
repo indexer to run and forcibly adds the repo to the queue. It then flushes the queue.
It may be worth separating out the tests somewhat by testing the Index function
directly away from the queue however, this forceful method should solve the current
problem.

This PR continues the work in #17125 by progressively ensuring that git

This PR contains multiple fixes. The most important of which is:
* Prevent hang in git cat-file if the repository is not a valid repository
Unfortunately it appears that if git cat-file is run in an invalid
repository it will hang until stdin is closed. This will result in
deadlocked /pulls pages and dangling git cat-file calls if a broken
repository is tried to be reviewed or pulls exists for a broken
repository.
Fix #14734
Fix #9271
Fix #16113
Otherwise there are a few small other fixes included which this PR was initially intending to fix:
* Fix panic on partial compares due to missing PullRequestWorkInProgressPrefixes
* Fix links on pulls pages due to regression from #17551 - by making most /issues routes match /pulls too - Fix #17983
* Fix links on feeds pages due to another regression from #17551 but also fix issue with syncing tags - Fix #17943
* Add missing locale entries for oauth group claims
* Prevent NPEs if ColorFormat is called on nil users, repos or teams.
* Add missing `X-Total-Count` and fix some related bugs
Adds `X-Total-Count` header to APIs that return a list but doesn't have it yet.
Fixed bugs:
* not returned after reporting error (39eb82446c/routers/api/v1/user/star.go (L70))
* crash with index out of bounds, API issue/issueSubscriptions
I also found various endpoints that return lists but do not apply/support pagination yet:
```

* Wrap the code indexer
In order to prevent a data race in the code indexer it must be wrapped

Further a completely initialised repository indexer should not be closed
until Termination otherwise actions in Hammer/Shutdown phases could
block or be lost.
Finally, there is a complex dance of shutdown etiquette should the index
initialisation fail. This PR restores that.
