polybjorn b08c4ef243 docs: standardise English heading style and surface hidden pages (#8766)
Apply sentence case to all H1s in docs/en/ and remove redundant "FreshRSS"
from titles where the docs site context already implies it. Align the three
section index titles to "Administrator/Developer/User manual", matching
the existing root H1 "FreshRSS manual (English)".

Add missing H1s to two pages that were silently dropped from the sidebar:
the user FAQ and the Caddy reverse proxy page. The sidebar template uses
page.title (derived from H1 by jekyll-titles-from-headings), so pages
without an H1 had title=nil and were skipped.

Update sidebar parent labels in docs_nav.html and the chapter list in
en/index.md to use the new "* manual" naming. Update link text in section
indexes that referenced the old H1s. Bundle two grammar fixes encountered
along the way: "an User Interface" -> "a user interface", and drop the
awkward "the" in "Configuring the email address validation".

EN only. No filenames, URLs, or anchor targets changed (anchors come from
H2 and below, which are untouched). FR is generated from EN via po4a and
will be regenerated separately.

Frequently asked questions

We may not have answered all of your questions in the previous sections. The FAQ contains some questions that have not been answered elsewhere.

Promoting a user to admin

At the moment, there can be only one admin user for the system. Thus promoting one user to admin demotes the current admin user.

The recommended way of promoting a user is with the help of the CLI tool. You only have to do is to run the following command:

./cli/reconfigure.php --default_user <username>

Alternatively, you can edit configuration files manually. To do so, you need to change the default_user value in the file ./data/config.php. As the file is a PHP file, you have to make sure that its still valid after the update by running the following command:

php -l ./data/config.php

Disabling self-registration

Users can register directly on the login screen only if the configuration allows them. Under Administration > System configuration, you have access to Max number of accounts. As stated on that page, there is no limitation if you input 0, thus allowing any number of user to self-register. If you input any other number, you will create a limitation on self-registering users. That means that as soon as the limit is reached, users cannot self-register but they can still be registered by the admin user. Using the value 1, disables the self-registration since the spot is used by the admin user.
