* Add 'watch-backend'

This leverages `air` to watch the backend files and trigger `make
backend` automatically when they change. It seems to work rather well
together with `watch-frontend`.

Fixes: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/12318

* rework docs to a new section for continuous build

* Rework 'make generate-images'

- Remove external dependencies and replace it with a node script that
  does does the same.
- Move detail removal from gitea-sm.png to favicon.png
- Remove favicon.ico and its generation, it is unused and we already serve
  favicon.png in its place.

Fixes: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/12314

* use proper centering value for preserveAspectRatio

* fix lint

* use fabric

* better linting fix

* fix typo

* mention detail-remove class in docs

Introduce 'make svg' which calls a node script that compiles svg files
to `public/img/svg`. These files are vendored to not create a dependency
on Node for the backend build.

On the frontend side, configure webpack using `raw-loader` so SVGs can
be imported as string.

Also moved our existing SVGs to web_src/svg for consistency.

- added new 'make webpack' target
- deprecated 'make js' and 'make css'
- extend webpack config to load the less files
- updated docs

I had to rename the source file of `arc-green.less` to avoid generating
a useless JS entrypoint via webpack-fix-style-only-entries which would
not work with different source/destination filenames. I hear that there
should be cleaner solutions possible once we upgrade to Webpack 5.

* prevent potential syntax error on old browsers

* Add 'make revive' to instructions for checking code

This is performed on drone, hacking instructions should contain the same to avoid unnecessary PR builds.

Fix spelling of misspell in command to validate swagger.

* use vendors when go generate

* update docs about golang minimal requirement from 1.9 to 1.11

* fix build

* add 'npm' and 'npm-update' make targets and lockfile

- `make npm` installs and updates node_modules, triggered automatically
   on `make css` and `make js` as it completes reasonably fast and
   ensures consistent modules.
- `make npm-update` updates all dependencies to their latest version,
   regenerates `node_modules` from scratch and updates
   `package-lock.json`. It uses npm modules `updates` written by yours
   truly to find the latest version of each dependency.

* add suggested make dependencies

* remove package-lock.json during npm-update

* regenerate package-lock.json

* add make targets for js,css, add javascript linter

- add `make js`, deprecating `make javascripts`
- add `make css`, deprecating `make generate-stylesheets` and
  `make stylesheets-check`
- changed the unclean css check to only run on CI
- add JS linting via eslint with basic configuration and fixed
  discovered issues
- changed autoprefixer to use official `postcss-cli` avoiding the need
  to loop in the makefile
- moved browserslist to package.json so other future tools can use it
  too.
- update documentation for new make targets and added JS section

* fix indentation

* move functions used in html to 'exported' list

* Run lessc binary without having to install anything to node_modules

* use relative paths to node bin scripts, removing npx

* Added Go Path and node_modules to PATH
* Uses npx now for generate-stylesheets
* Uses `go env GOPATH` to calculate adding GOPATH/bin to PATH

* Added preferred Node version to CONTRIBUTING.md
