Improve some documents: release version, logging, NFS lock (#25202) (#25204)

Backport #25202 by @wxiaoguang

Close #23654

Close #24684


@techknowlogick I still think we need to rename
https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/1.20/ to
https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/1.20-nightly/

`/gitea/1.20/` is quite confusing, it needs these words to explain why.
If we call it `1.20-nightly`, the FAQ can be simplified a lot.

## Difference between 1.x and 1.x.x downloads
## Difference between 1.x and 1.x.x downloads, how can I get latest stable release with bug fixes?
Version 1.7.x will be used for this example.
Version 1.20.x will be used for this example.
**NOTE:** this example applies to Docker images as well!
On our [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/) you will see a 1.20 directory, as well as directories for 1.20.0, 1.20.1.
On our [downloads page](https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/) you will see a 1.7 directory, as well as directories for 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.7.4, 1.7.5, and 1.7.6.
The 1.20 directory is the nightly build, which is built on each merged commit to the [`release/v1.20`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/release/v1.20) branch.
The 1.7 and 1.7.0 directories are **not** the same. The 1.7 directory is built on each merged commit to the [`release/v1.7`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/release/v1.7) branch.
The 1.20.0 directory is a release build that was created when the [`v1.20.0`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.20.0) tag was created.
The 1.7.0 directory, however, is a build that was created when the [`v1.7.0`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.7.0) tag was created.
The nightly builds (1.x) downloads will change as commits are merged to their respective branch, they contain the latest changes/fixes before a tag release is built.
This means that 1.x downloads will change as commits are merged to their respective branch (think of it as a separate "main" branch for each release).
On the other hand, 1.x.x downloads should never change.
If a bug fix is targeted on 1.20.1 but 1.20.1 is not released yet, you can get the "1.20-nightly" build to get the bug fix.
## How to migrate from Gogs/GitHub/etc. to Gitea
@ -404,14 +402,6 @@ You will also need to change the app.ini database charset to `CHARSET=utf8mb4`.
Gitea requires the system or browser to have one of the supported Emoji fonts installed, which are Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji and Twemoji Mozilla. Generally, the operating system should already provide one of these fonts, but especially on Linux, it may be necessary to install them manually.
## Stdout logging on SystemD and Docker
Stdout on systemd goes to the journal by default. Try using `journalctl`, `journalctl -u gitea`, or `journalctl <path-to-gitea-binary>`.
Similarly, stdout on docker can be viewed using `docker logs <container>`.
To collect logs for help and issue report, see [Support Options]({{< relref "doc/help/support.en-us.md" >}}).
## Initial logging
Before Gitea has read the configuration file and set-up its logging it will log a number of things to stdout in order to help debug things if logging does not work.

If you are using Cloudflare, turn off the auto-minify option in the dashboard.

## How to adopt repositories from disk
- Add your (bare) repositories to the correct spot for your configuration (`repository.ROOT`), ensuring they are in the correct layout `<REPO_ROOT>/[user]/[repo].git`.

- Users can also be given similar permissions via config [`ALLOW_ADOPTION_OF_UNADOPTED_REPOSITORIES`]({{< relref "doc/administration/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository" >}}).
- If the above steps are done correctly, you should be able to select repositories to adopt.
- If no repositories are found, enable [debug logging]({{< relref "doc/administration/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository" >}}) to check for any specific errors.
## Gitea can't start on NFS
In most cases, it's caused by broken NFS lock system. You can try to stop Gitea process and
run `flock -n /data-nfs/gitea/queues/LOCK echo 'lock acquired'` to see whether the lock can be acquired immediately.
If the lock can't be acquired, NFS might report some errors like `lockd: cannot monitor node-3, statd: server rpc.statd not responding, timed out` in its server logs.
Then the NFS lock could be reset by:
```bash
# /etc/init.d/nfs stop
# rm -rf /var/lib/nfs/sm/*
# /etc/init.d/nfs start
```

5. If you meet slow/hanging/deadlock problems, please report the stack trace when the problem occurs:
1. Enable pprof in `app.ini` and restart Gitea
```ini

ENABLE_PPROF = true
```
2. Trigger the bug, when Gitea gets stuck, use curl or browser to visit: `http://127.0.0.1:6060/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=1` (IP must be `127.0.0.1` and port must be `6060`).
