Move web app manifest to a own cache-able route and add a setting to set "display": "standalone"; Closes #2638 (#5384)

This PR does three things:
- First it moves the inline web app manifest into its own route `/manifest.json`
- Secondly, it add a setting `pwa.STANDALONE` that can be set to `true` if one wants users to be allowed to "install" forgejo as an pwa into their browser. This usually means an "install app" button, which essentially just creates an shortcut to use a single-tab window for browsing the app / forgejo.
- Thirdly since we have now an extra route, it checks if someone placed a `public/manifest.json` in forgejo's custom path; if yes, it's content is served instead. This allows more customization without the need on our side to completly implement every nuance of web app manifests.

This closes issue #2638

### Tests

- I added test coverage for Go changes...
  - [x] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests.

### Documentation

- [x] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/pulls/1669) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.

### Release notes

- [ ] I do not want this change to show in the release notes.
- [ ] I want the title to show in the release notes with a link to this pull request.
- [x] I want the content of the `release-notes/<pull request number>.md` to be be used for the release notes instead of the title.
