Rewrite queue (#24505)

# ⚠️ Breaking

Many deprecated queue config options are removed (actually, they should
have been removed in 1.18/1.19).

If you see the fatal message when starting Gitea: "Please update your
app.ini to remove deprecated config options", please follow the error
messages to remove these options from your app.ini.

Example:

```
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].ISSUE_INDEXER_QUEUE_TYPE`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [E] Removed queue option: `[indexer].UPDATE_BUFFER_LEN`. Use new options in `[queue.issue_indexer]`
2023/05/06 19:39:22 [F] Please update your app.ini to remove deprecated config options
```

Many options in `[queue]` are are dropped, including:
`WRAP_IF_NECESSARY`, `MAX_ATTEMPTS`, `TIMEOUT`, `WORKERS`,
`BLOCK_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_TIMEOUT`, `BOOST_WORKERS`, they can be removed
from app.ini.

# The problem

The old queue package has some legacy problems:

* complexity: I doubt few people could tell how it works.
* maintainability: Too many channels and mutex/cond are mixed together,
too many different structs/interfaces depends each other.
* stability: due to the complexity & maintainability, sometimes there
are strange bugs and difficult to debug, and some code doesn't have test
(indeed some code is difficult to test because a lot of things are mixed
together).
* general applicability: although it is called "queue", its behavior is
not a well-known queue.
* scalability: it doesn't seem easy to make it work with a cluster
without breaking its behaviors.

It came from some very old code to "avoid breaking", however, its
technical debt is too heavy now. It's a good time to introduce a better
"queue" package.

# The new queue package

It keeps using old config and concept as much as possible.

* It only contains two major kinds of concepts:
    * The "base queue": channel, levelqueue, redis
* They have the same abstraction, the same interface, and they are
tested by the same testing code.
* The "WokerPoolQueue", it uses the "base queue" to provide "worker
pool" function, calls the "handler" to process the data in the base
queue.
* The new code doesn't do "PushBack"
* Think about a queue with many workers, the "PushBack" can't guarantee
the order for re-queued unhandled items, so in new code it just does
"normal push"
* The new code doesn't do "pause/resume"
* The "pause/resume" was designed to handle some handler's failure: eg:
document indexer (elasticsearch) is down
* If a queue is paused for long time, either the producers blocks or the
new items are dropped.
* The new code doesn't do such "pause/resume" trick, it's not a common
queue's behavior and it doesn't help much.
* If there are unhandled items, the "push" function just blocks for a
few seconds and then re-queue them and retry.
* The new code doesn't do "worker booster"
* Gitea's queue's handlers are light functions, the cost is only the
go-routine, so it doesn't make sense to "boost" them.
* The new code only use "max worker number" to limit the concurrent
workers.
* The new "Push" never blocks forever
* Instead of creating more and more blocking goroutines, return an error
is more friendly to the server and to the end user.

There are more details in code comments: eg: the "Flush" problem, the
strange "code.index" hanging problem, the "immediate" queue problem.

Almost ready for review.

TODO:

* [x] add some necessary comments during review
* [x] add some more tests if necessary
* [x] update documents and config options
* [x] test max worker / active worker
* [x] re-run the CI tasks to see whether any test is flaky
* [x] improve the `handleOldLengthConfiguration` to provide more
friendly messages
* [x] fine tune default config values (eg: length?)

 ## Queue (`queue` and `queue.*`)
 
 Configuration at `[queue]` will set defaults for queues with overrides for individual queues at `[queue.*]`. (However see below.)
 
-- `TYPE`: **persistable-channel**: General queue type, currently support: `persistable-channel` (uses a LevelDB internally), `channel`, `level`, `redis`, `dummy`
-- `DATADIR`: **queues/**: Base DataDir for storing persistent and level queues. `DATADIR` for individual queues can be set in `queue.name` sections but will default to `DATADIR/`**`common`**. (Previously each queue would default to `DATADIR/`**`name`**.) Relative paths will be made absolute against `%(APP_DATA_PATH)s`.
-- `LENGTH`: **20**: Maximal queue size before channel queues block
+- `TYPE`: **level**: General queue type, currently support: `level` (uses a LevelDB internally), `channel`, `redis`, `dummy`. Invalid types are treated as `level`.
+- `DATADIR`: **queues/common**: Base DataDir for storing level queues. `DATADIR` for individual queues can be set in `queue.name` sections. Relative paths will be made absolute against `%(APP_DATA_PATH)s`.
+- `LENGTH`: **100**: Maximal queue size before channel queues block
 - `BATCH_LENGTH`: **20**: Batch data before passing to the handler
-- `CONN_STR`: **redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0**: Connection string for the redis queue type. Options can be set using query params. Similarly LevelDB options can also be set using: **leveldb://relative/path?option=value** or **leveldb:///absolute/path?option=value**, and will override `DATADIR`
+- `CONN_STR`: **redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0**: Connection string for the redis queue type. Options can be set using query params. Similarly, LevelDB options can also be set using: **leveldb://relative/path?option=value** or **leveldb:///absolute/path?option=value**, and will override `DATADIR`
 - `QUEUE_NAME`: **_queue**: The suffix for default redis and disk queue name. Individual queues will default to **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME` but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
-- `SET_NAME`: **_unique**: The suffix that will be added to the default redis and disk queue `set` name for unique queues. Individual queues will default to
- **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME`_`SET_NAME`_ but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
-- `WRAP_IF_NECESSARY`: **true**: Will wrap queues with a timeoutable queue if the selected queue is not ready to be created - (Only relevant for the level queue.)
-- `MAX_ATTEMPTS`: **10**: Maximum number of attempts to create the wrapped queue
-- `TIMEOUT`: **GRACEFUL_HAMMER_TIME + 30s**: Timeout the creation of the wrapped queue if it takes longer than this to create.
-- Queues by default come with a dynamically scaling worker pool. The following settings configure this:
-- `WORKERS`: **0**: Number of initial workers for the queue.
+- `SET_NAME`: **_unique**: The suffix that will be added to the default redis and disk queue `set` name for unique queues. Individual queues will default to **`name`**`QUEUE_NAME`_`SET_NAME`_ but can be overridden in the specific `queue.name` section.
 - `MAX_WORKERS`: **10**: Maximum number of worker go-routines for the queue.
-- `BLOCK_TIMEOUT`: **1s**: If the queue blocks for this time, boost the number of workers - the `BLOCK_TIMEOUT` will then be doubled before boosting again whilst the boost is ongoing.
-- `BOOST_TIMEOUT`: **5m**: Boost workers will timeout after this long.
-- `BOOST_WORKERS`: **1**: This many workers will be added to the worker pool if there is a boost.
