Add 'watch-backend' (#12330)

Browse Source 
* 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

See `make help` for all available `make` tasks. Also see [`.drone.yml`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/.drone.yml) to see how our continuous integration works. The `build` target will execute both `frontend` and `backend` sub-targets. If the `bindata` tag is present, the frontend files will be compiled into the binary. It is recommended to leave out the tag when doing frontend development so that changes will be reflected.

## Building continuously
Both the `frontend` and `backend` targets can be ran continuously when source files change:
````bash
# in your first terminal
make watch-backend
# in your second terminal
make watch-frontend
````
On macOS, watching all backend source files may hit the default open files limit which can be increased via `ulimit -n 12288` for the current shell or in your shell startup file for all future shells.

For simple changes, edit files in `web_src`, run the build and start the server to test: Either use the `watch-frontend` target mentioned above or just build once:
```bash ```bash
make build && ./gitea make build && ./gitea
``` ```
`make build` runs both `make frontend` and `make backend` which can be run individually as well as long as the `bindata` tag is not used (which compiles frontend files into the binary).
For more involved changes use the `watch-frontend` task to continuously rebuild files when their sources change. The `bindata` tag must be absent. First, build and run the backend:
```bash
make backend && ./gitea
```
With the backend running, open another terminal and run:
```bash
make watch-frontend
```
