Refactor and update mail templates #35150

cc @lunny @NorthRealm

The templates are moved.

@wxiaoguang I just wanna say I aint touching UI again without absolute necessity. It was a total disaster. 😅

@NorthRealm Maybe you can send a docs PR to update the example https://docs.gitea.com/administration/mail-templates#example

[krzysztofjeziorny]

Thank you for the quick answers.

So the current path for that template is custom/templates/mail/repo/issue/. Moving the file there clears the problem.

Please mark this change as a Breaking Change in release notes, it may be helpful to others.

Both PR and blog added break chagne.

Not to sound like an ungrateful picky old man, but why stating such important change it in the blog, but not in the changelog? That's the only source of truth and wisdom for a release. I didn't even know that a Gitea blog exists.

That (for me unannounced) template path change did cause a lot of trouble and I could react much quicker if I knew what happened.
