chore(upgrade): urfave/cli from v2 to v3 (#8035)

urfave/cli  v2 will eventually become unmaintained, switch over to v3 which is the latest supported version.

Note: the `docs` command would be a lot of work to restore with v3 ([the package is still in alpha](https://github.com/urfave/cli-docs)) An alternative to avoid a breaking change would be to not upgrade from v2 to v3 for that reason alone.
Note: these commits were cherry-picked from https://code.forgejo.org/forgefriends/forgefriends
Note: it is best reviewed side by side with no display of whitespace changes (there are a lot of those when converting vars to func).

- a few functional changes were necessary and are noted in context in the file changes tab
- https://cli.urfave.org/migrate-v2-to-v3/ upgrade instructions were followed in the most minimal way possible
- upgrade gof3 to v3.10.8 which includes and upgrade from urfave/cli  v2 to urfave/cli  v3
- upgrade gitlab.com/gitlab-org/api/client-go v0.129.0 because it is an indirect dependency of gof3 and requires a change because of a deprecated field that otherwise triggers a lint error but nothing else otherwise
- verified that the [script](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/next/scripts/cli-docs.sh) that generates the [CLI documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs/src/branch/next/scripts/cli-docs.sh) still works. There are cosmetic differences and the **help** subcommand is no longer advertised (although it is still supported) but the `--help` option is advertised as expected so it is fine.
- end-to-end tests [passed](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/pulls/667) (they use the Forgejo CLI to some extent)

## Checklist

The [contributor guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/contributor/) contains information that will be helpful to first time contributors. There also are a few [conditions for merging Pull Requests in Forgejo repositories](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/src/branch/main/PullRequestsAgreement.md). You are also welcome to join the [Forgejo development chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-development:matrix.org).

### Tests

- I added test coverage for Go changes...
  - [ ] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests.
  - [ ] in the `tests/integration` directory if it involves interactions with a live Forgejo server.
- I added test coverage for JavaScript changes...
  - [ ] in `web_src/js/*.test.js` if it can be unit tested.
  - [ ] in `tests/e2e/*.test.e2e.js` if it requires interactions with a live Forgejo server (see also the [developer guide for JavaScript testing](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/branch/forgejo/tests/e2e/README.md#end-to-end-tests)).

### Documentation

- [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.
- [x] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it.

### 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.

+The `forgejo docs` command is deprecated and CLI errors are now displayed on stderr instead of stdout. These breaking changes happened because the package used to parse the command line arguments was [upgraded from v2 to v3](https://cli.urfave.org/migrate-v2-to-v3/). A [separate project was initiated](https://github.com/urfave/cli-docs) to re-implement the `docs` command, but it is not yet production ready.
