Include the current CustomPath location in the admin section and also
display GITEA_WORK_DIR and/or GITEA_CUSTOM env var if they are set.
Right now there is no easy way to see this information, and if you try
and help most users they won't be able to tell you anything about these
values -- just that their custom template isn't working, files aren't in
the right place, etc... Now you can see all paths and if they were set
by ENV or not.

The choice regarding which forms should or should not trigger a warning
is subjective. I tried to be consistent and not warn about forms that:
- run an action, rather than edit data: search, send an email.
- delete data: a warning about losing data would be confusing
Note that forms on sign-in pages were already ignored (using a selector,
rather than an explicit class on the form element).

- Add site-wide option DEFAULT_KEEP_EMAIL_PRIVATE.
- Add the new option to the install and admin/config pages.
- Add the new option to app.ini in the service section.
- Add the new option to the settings struct.
- Add English text strings to i18n.
- Add field KeepEmailPrivate to user struct.
- Add field KeepEmailPrivate to user form.
- Add option to UI.
- Add using noreply email address if user has "Keep Email Private".
An email address <LowerName>@<NO_REPLY_ADDRESS> is now used in commit
messages (and hopefully all other git log relevant places). The
change relies on the fact that git commands should use
user.NetGitSig().
- Add hiding of email address in UI, if user has set "Keep Email Private".
- Add condition to show email address only on explore/users and user
pages, if user has not set "Keep Email Private".
- Add noreply email in API if set "Keep Email Private".
- Add a new service setting NO_REPLY_ADDRESS. The value of this
setting is used as the domain part for the user's email address in
git log, iff he decides to keep his email address private.
If the user decides to keep his email address private and this
option is not set 'noreply.example.org' is used, which no MTA
should send email to.
Add NO_REPLY_ADDRESS to conf/app.ini.

Meta
-----
This commit will be rebased onto the 'develop' branch.
This is feature is workaround for #2628 (JumpCloud) and some other services
that allow LDAP search only under BindDN user account, but not allow any LDAP
search query in logged user DN context.
Such approach is an alternative to minimal permissions security pattern for
BindDN user.
This commit improves templates readability, since all of them use consistent
indent with all template command blocks indented too.
1. Indents both HTML containers such as <div>, <p> and Go HTML template blocks
such as {{if}} {{with}}
2. Cleans all trailing white-space
3. Adds trailing last line-break to each file
Consider following LDAP search query example:
(&(objectClass=Person)(|(uid=%s)(mail=%s)))
Right now on first login attempt Gogs will use the text supplied on login form
as the newly created user name. In example query above the text matches against
both e-mail or user name. So if user puts the e-mail then the new Gogs user
name will be e-mail which may be undesired.
Using optional user name attribute setting we can explicitly say we want Gogs
user name to be certain LDAP attribute eg. `uid`, so even user will use e-mail
to login 1st time, the new account will receive correct user name.
The IsAdmin flag is set based on whether the admin filter
returned any result. The admin filter is applied with the user dn
as the search root.
In the future, we should update IsAdmin as well on each login.
Alternately, we can have a periodic sync operation.
The "PHP" formatting function doesn't add anything, except an undocumented date format.
All usages in the templates have been replaced with DateFmtShort and DateFmtLong for convenience.
