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.

Default user

Currently, we have one main user, also called default user, or admin. All the others are regular users.

The default user is the first created user within the install routine.

Manage

The default user is always an administrator.

It is impossible to demote or disable the user.

Anonymous reading mode

The default user is used for the anonymous reading.

How to enable the anonymous reading mode:

  • go to settings AdministrationAuthentication
  • enable the checkbox of Allow anonymous reading of the default users articles
  • when no user is logged in then the feeds of the default user is shown

Change the default user

There is no UI for changing the default user, but a CLI (./cli/reconfigure.php --default_user YourNewAdmin) is provided. It can also be changed manually by editing the text file ./FreshRSS/data/config.php and changing 'default_user' => 'alice', to the desired user.
