docs(release-notes): flatten release-notes files
It is not for the developer to keep them sorted in a hierarchy when
the release they belong to can be deduced from the tag of the release
into which they were merged. The release notes assistant does that
work instead.

Some files appeared in more than one directory (feat and fix for
instance) when the PR contains multiple unrelated commits which is
what happens on a regular basis with the weekly cherry-pick of
Gitea. Those files were merged into one and each line changed to start
with a conventional commit prefix (feat: fix:).

Each line in a file will be a separate line in the release notes, they
are not groupped together even when they relate to the same PR. The
determination of the category in which they should be displayed will
be based on regular expressions using either the PR title or the line
to add to the release notes itself.

Unify the content of each file to either be a bullet list of
independent pull requests or be folded into a single line if it is
multiline. Multiline content belongs to the documentation.

- [CERT management was improved](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/3724) when [`ENABLE_ACME=true`](https://forgejo.org/docs/v7.0/admin/config-cheat-sheet/#server-server)
- Draft support for draft-03 of [ACME Renewal Information (ARI)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-acme-ari/) which assists with deciding when to renew certificates. This augments CertMagic's already-advanced logic using cert lifetime and OCSP/revocation status.
- New [`ZeroSSLIssuer`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caddyserver/certmagic@v0.21.0#ZeroSSLIssuer) uses the [ZeroSSL API](https://zerossl.com/documentation/api/) to get certificates. ZeroSSL also has an ACME endpoint, which can still be accesed using the existing ACMEIssuer, as always. Their proprietary API is paid, but has extra features like IP certificates, better reliability, and support.
- DNS challenges should be smoother in some cases as we've improved propagation checking.
- In the odd case your ACME account disappears from the ACME server, CertMagic will automatically retry with a new account. (This happens in some test/dev environments.)
- ACME accounts are identified only by their public keys, but CertMagic maps accounts by CA+email for practical/storage reasons. So now you can "pin" an account key to use by specifying your email and the account public key in your config, which is useful if you need to absolutely be sure to use a specific account (like if you get rate limit exemptions from a CA).
