Publish the wiki through a reusable workflow; this wiki moves to docs/wiki

- publish-wiki-pages.yml: reusable workflow with wiki_dir, prune and
  tools-ref inputs and the declared secret TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI
- tools/publish_wiki.py: WIKI_PRUNE selects explicit mode without the marker;
  a missing folder is a configuration error
- publish-own-wiki.yml: this repository calls the reusable workflow
- wiki/ moves to docs/wiki/; build_wiki.py and its tests follow
- the scoped publish-wiki.yml is marked deprecated, not removed
- guides, README and the Danish and Bahasa Malaysia wiki pages describe the
  caller, docs/wiki/ and the new error messages

## Wiki publishing secret
The workflow **Publish wiki** copies `wiki/` to the Gitea wiki of a repository
that has opted in with `wiki/.publish` (see [onboarding.md](onboarding.md)). It
uses its own secret, so the metadata sync token stays read-only.
The workflow **Publish wiki pages** copies `docs/wiki/` to the Gitea wiki of a
repository that calls it (see [onboarding.md](onboarding.md)). It uses its own
secret, so the metadata sync token stays read-only. The caller passes the
secret in `secrets:`; it is not inherited.
| Secret | Content | Used for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI` | The Gitea token, nothing else | Writing the wiki pages of the repositories of an organization that opt in |
- Store it as a secret of the organization of each repository that publishes.
There is no fallback to `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA`: a repository that opted in and has
no such secret fails with a configuration error, and a repository that did
not opt in does not need it.
There is no fallback to `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA`: a repository that calls the
workflow and has no such secret fails with a configuration error, and a
repository that does not call it does not need it.
- The token needs scope `write:repository`, and its user needs write access to
the repositories. Gitea has no wiki-only scope, so create the token for a
dedicated user. S05 approves the scope and S03 stores the secret.
- Calls made: `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}`, `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/pages`,
`GET`, `POST` and `PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/...` and, for a page that
no longer exists in `wiki/`, `DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/{name}`.
no longer exists in `docs/wiki/`, `DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/wiki/page/{name}`.
- The wiki must be enabled in the repository settings. The workflow refuses to
run when it is not.
- Pages that are in `wiki/` are always overwritten from it, so a change made
in the Gitea web UI is lost on the next publish. Pages that are only in the
wiki are removed only when `wiki/.publish` contains the word `prune`.
- Pages that are in `docs/wiki/` are always overwritten from it, so a change
made in the Gitea web UI is lost on the next publish. Pages that are only in
the wiki are removed only when the call sets `prune: "true"`.

## Publish a wiki (optional)
The **Publish wiki** workflow copies the Markdown pages in `wiki/` to the
repository wiki when a change to `wiki/` is merged to `main`. It is delivered
like the sync workflow, but it writes only where a repository opts in.
The reusable workflow **Publish wiki pages** copies the Markdown pages in
`docs/wiki/` to the repository wiki when a change to `docs/wiki/` is merged to
`main`. The repository calls it, so nothing is written where no call exists.
The wiki has English and the product owner's language as a minimum.
1. Enable the wiki in the repository settings.
2. Add Markdown pages to `wiki/`. The file name is the page name: `Home.md` is
the home page. A hyphen in the name is a space in the page name: `Home-da.md`
is the page "Home da", and a link to it is `[Dansk](Home-da)`.
3. Add the marker `wiki/.publish`. Leave it empty to create and update pages
only. Put the single word `prune` in it to also delete wiki pages that are
not in `wiki/`, so the wiki always equals the folder.
2. Add Markdown pages to `docs/wiki/`. The file name is the page name: `Home.md`
is the home page. A hyphen in the name is a space in the page name:
`Home-da.md` is the page "Home da", and a link to it is `[Dansk](Home-da)`.
3. Add a workflow, for example `.gitea/workflows/publish-wiki.yml`, that calls
the reusable workflow:
```yaml
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
paths: [ "docs/wiki/**" ]
jobs:
wiki:
uses: TirSystem/github-action/.gitea/workflows/publish-wiki-pages.yml@v1
with:
prune: "true"
secrets:
TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI: ${{ secrets.TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI }}
```
`wiki_dir` defaults to `docs/wiki`. `prune: "true"` also deletes wiki pages
that are not in the folder, so the wiki always equals the folder; the
default `false` keeps them.
4. Store `TOKEN_FOR_GITEA_WIKI` as a secret of the repository's organization,
using the scope in [credentials.md](credentials.md).
5. Merge the change to `main`. The log must end with `Published <n> page(s) to
the wiki of <owner>/<repo>`.
A repository without `wiki/.publish` is skipped with the line `No
wiki/.publish marker in <owner>/<repo>`: nothing is written and no secret is
needed.
A repository that still has the marker `wiki/.publish` is published by the
older scoped workflow, which is removed once every repository has a call.
Move the pages to `docs/wiki/` and add the call before that.
