The old code is unnecessarily complex, and has many misuses.
Old code "wraps" a lot, wrap wrap wrap, it's difficult to understand
which kind of handler is used.
The new code uses a general approach, we do not need to write all kinds
of handlers into the "wrapper", do not need to wrap them again and
again.
New code, there are only 2 concepts:
1. HandlerProvider: `func (h any) (handlerProvider func (next)
http.Handler)`, it can be used as middleware
2. Use HandlerProvider to get the final HandlerFunc, and use it for
`r.Get()`
And we can decouple the route package from context package (see the
TODO).
# FAQ
## Is `reflect` safe?
Yes, all handlers are checked during startup, see the `preCheckHandler`
comment. If any handler is wrong, developers could know it in the first
time.
## Does `reflect` affect performance?
No. https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/24080#discussion_r1164825901
1. This reflect code only runs for each web handler call, handler is far
more slower: 10ms-50ms
2. The reflect is pretty fast (comparing to other code): 0.000265ms
3. XORM has more reflect operations already

Use [chi](https://github.com/go-chi/chi) instead of the forked [macaron](https://gitea.com/macaron/macaron). Since macaron and chi have conflicts with session share, this big PR becomes a have-to thing. According my previous idea, we can replace macaron step by step but I'm wrong. :( Below is a list of big changes on this PR.
- [x] Define `context.ResponseWriter` interface with an implementation `context.Response`.
- [x] Use chi instead of macaron, and also a customize `Route` to wrap chi so that the router usage is similar as before.
- [x] Create different routers for `web`, `api`, `internal` and `install` so that the codes will be more clear and no magic .
- [x] Use https://github.com/unrolled/render instead of macaron's internal render
- [x] Use https://github.com/NYTimes/gziphandler instead of https://gitea.com/macaron/gzip
- [x] Use https://gitea.com/go-chi/session which is a modified version of https://gitea.com/macaron/session and removed `nodb` support since it will not be maintained. **BREAK**
- [x] Use https://gitea.com/go-chi/captcha which is a modified version of https://gitea.com/macaron/captcha
- [x] Use https://gitea.com/go-chi/cache which is a modified version of https://gitea.com/macaron/cache
- [x] Use https://gitea.com/go-chi/binding which is a modified version of https://gitea.com/macaron/binding
- [x] Use https://github.com/go-chi/cors instead of https://gitea.com/macaron/cors
- [x] Dropped https://gitea.com/macaron/i18n and make a new one in `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/translation`
- [x] Move validation form structs from `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/auth` to `code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/forms` to avoid dependency cycle.
- [x] Removed macaron log service because it's not need any more. **BREAK**
- [x] All form structs have to be get by `web.GetForm(ctx)` in the route function but not as a function parameter on routes definition.
- [x] Move Git HTTP protocol implementation to use routers directly.
- [x] Fix the problem that chi routes don't support trailing slash but macaron did.
- [x] `/api/v1/swagger` now will be redirect to `/api/swagger` but not render directly so that `APIContext` will not create a html render.
Notices:
- Chi router don't support request with trailing slash
- Integration test `TestUserHeatmap` maybe mysql version related. It's failed on my macOS(mysql 5.7.29 installed via brew) but succeed on CI.
