`.secondary-nav` as a universal way for styling and margin adjustments
inside `.page-content`.
If the first child of `.page-content` is `.secondary-nav`, we add margin

The fix against the race incorrectly assumes the sha of the commit being
pushed belongs to the base repository. It finds the highest possible
pull request ID from the head repository instead of looking it up in
the base repository.
Figuring out if a PR was created in the future based on the highest
index of the base repository would require collecting all of them
because there is no way to know in advance which repository may be
involved in the race.
Fixing this race can be done either by:
* Introducing a new field in the pull_request table https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/2842
which feels more like a hack than a real solution
* Refactoring the logic
which would be a significant undertaking
The race has been in the codebase for a very long time and manifests
itself in the CI, when events happen in quick succession. The only
concrete manifestation was however fixed by https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/2009
Since this race now only exists in theory and not in practice, let's
revert this bugous commit until a proper solution is implemented.

- Currently it's possible to modify remote references such as
`refs/pull/<idx>/head` and `refs/heads/<branch>`.
- Disallow that the pull request reference is deleted, as this should
not be at the control of the user. Doing so would result in
inconsistencies within Forgejo and lead to internal server errors when
trying access the pull request, this action should be reserved for
Forgejo.
- Do this by utilizing the `update` hook, which process each reference
individually and therefore allow to only skip deleting internal
references and still allow other modifications that is being done in
the same push.

Repositories displaying an "Add more..." tab on the header is a neat way
to let people discover they can enable more units. However, displaying

not want to enable more units gets noisy very fast.

this hint under the appearance settings.

shields.io uses dashes to separate parts of the badge it needs to
return. If our label or text parts contain dashes, we need to encode
those for shields.io to recognise what we want it to do, and to have the
correct text on the badge, too.
Fortunately, this is as simple as replacing all dashes with double
dashes in both the label and the text parts. We do not need to do the
same for the color, because that part is not user controlled.
This fixes the badges for cases when a workflow name includes dashes, or
when a release's tag name does.

Thanks to inferenceus : some sort orders on the "explore/users" page
could list users by their lastlogintime/updatetime.
It leaks user's activity unintentionally. This PR makes that page only
use "supported" sort orders.
Removing the "sort orders" could also be a good solution, while IMO at
the moment keeping the "create time" and "name" orders is also fine, in
case some users would like to find a target user in the search result,
the "sort order" might help.

- The CODEOWNER feature relies on the changed files to determine which
reviewers should be added according to the `CODEOWNER` file.
- The current approach was to 'diff' between the base and head branch,
which seems logical but fail in practice when the pull request is out of
date with the base branch. Therefore it should instead diff between the
head branch and the merge base of the head and base branch, so only the
actual affected files by the pull requests are used, the same approach
is used by the diff of an unmerged pull request.
- Add integration testing (for the feature as well).

The problem is the check in `CatFileBatch`:
79217ea63c/modules/git/repo_base_nogogit.go (L81-L87)
`Buffered() > 0` is used to check if there is a "operation" in progress
at the moment. This is a problem because we can't control the internal
buffer in the `bufio.Reader`. The code above demonstrates a sequence
which initiates an operation for which the code thinks there is no
active processing. The second call to `DataAsync()` therefore reuses the
existing instances instead of creating a new batch reader.

- The ambiguous character detection is an important security feature to
combat against sourcebase attacks (https://trojansource.codes/).
- However there are a few problems with the feature as it stands
today (i) it's apparantly an big performance hitter, it's twice as slow
as syntax highlighting (ii) it contains false positives, because it's
reporting valid problems but not valid within the context of a
programming language (ambiguous charachters in code comments being a
prime example) that can lead to security issues (iii) charachters from
certain languages always being marked as ambiguous. It's a lot of effort
to fix the aforementioned issues.
- Therefore, make it configurable in which context the ambiguous
character detection should be run, this avoids running detection in all
contexts such as file views, but still enable it in commits and pull
requests diffs where it matters the most. Ideally this also becomes an
per-repository setting, but the code architecture doesn't allow for a
clean implementation of that.
- Adds unit test.
- Adds integration tests to ensure that the contexts and instance-wide
is respected (and that ambigious charachter detection actually work in
different places).

It's possible for reviews to not be assiocated with users, when they
were migrated from another forge instance. In the migration code,
there's no sanitization check for author names, so they could contain
HTML tags and thus needs to be properely escaped.
On the wiki and revisions page, information is shown about the last
commit that modified that wiki page. This includes the time it was last
edited and by whom. Verify it is sanitized.
This adds the ability to run `make test-e2e-debugserver` to start a
forgejo server pupulated with the test data from `models/fixtures`. This

If no `-o description=` is provided, fill it in automatically from the
first commit, just like title. Also allow filling in either, and
specifying them independently.
This means that `git push origin HEAD:refs/for/main/my-local-branch`
will fill in the PR title, *and* the description, without having to
specify additional parameters.
The description is the first commit's message without the first two
lines (the title and a newline, as customary).

With this option, it is possible to require a linear commit history with
the following benefits over the next best option `Rebase+fast-forward`:
The original commits continue existing, with the original signatures
continuing to stay valid instead of being rewritten, there is no merge
commit, and reverting commits becomes easier.
Closes #24906
