Refactor docs (#23752)
This was intended to be a small followup for
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712, but...here we are.
1. Our docs currently use `slug` as the entire URL, which makes
refactoring tricky (see https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/23712).
Instead, this PR attempts to make future refactoring easier by using
slugs as an extension of the section. (Hugo terminology)
- What the above boils down to is this PR attempts to use directory
organization as URL management. e.g. `usage/comparison.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/comparison/`, `usage/packages/overview.en-us.md` ->
`en-us/usage/packages/overview/`
- Technically we could even remove `slug`, as Hugo defaults to using
filename, however at least with this PR it means `slug` only needs to be
the name for the **current file** rather than an entire URL
2. This PR adds appropriate aliases (redirects) for pages, so anything
on the internet that links to our docs should hopefully not break.
3. A minor nit I've had for a while, renaming `seek-help` to `support`.
It's a minor thing, but `seek-help` has a strange connotation to it.
4. The commits are split such that you can review the first which is the
"actual" change, and the second is added redirects so that the first
doesn't break links elsewhere.

# RubyGems Package Registry
Publish [RubyGems ](https://guides.rubygems.org/ ) packages for your user or organization.
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc > }}
## Requirements
To work with the RubyGems package registry, you need to use the [gem ](https://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/ ) command line tool to consume and publish packages.
## Configuring the package registry
To register the package registry edit the `~/.gem/credentials` file and add:
```ini
---
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems: Bearer {token}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `token` | Your [personal access token ]({{< relref "doc/development/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}} ). |
For example:
```
---
https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems: Bearer 3bd626f84b01cd26b873931eace1e430a5773cc4
```
## Publish a package
Publish a package by running the following command:
```shell
gem push --host {host} {package_file}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| `host` | URL to the package registry. |
| `package_file` | Path to the package `.gem` file. |
For example:
```shell
gem push --host https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems test_package-1.0.0.gem
```
You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.
## Install a package
To install a package from the package registry you can use [Bundler ](https://bundler.io ) or `gem` .
### Bundler
Add a new `source` block to your `Gemfile` :
```
source "https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems" do
gem "{package_name}"
end
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```
source "https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems" do
gem "test_package"
end
```
Afterwards run the following command:
```shell
bundle install
```
### gem
Execute the following command:
```shell
gem install --host https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rubygems {package_name}
```
| Parameter | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------- |
| `owner` | The owner of the package. |
| `package_name` | The package name. |
For example:
```shell
gem install --host https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rubygems test_package
