Update WorkPath/WORK_PATH related documents, remove out-dated
information.
Remove "StaticRootPath" on the admin config display page, because few
end user really need it, it only causes misconfiguration.

The correct path for the template(s) will be relative to the `CustomPath`
1. To find `CustomPath`, look for Custom File Root Path in Site Administration -> Configuration
If that doesn't exist, you can try `echo $GITEA_CUSTOM`
2. If you are still unable to find a path, the default can be [calculated above](#where-does-gitea-store-what-file)
3. Once you have figured out the correct custom path, you can refer to the [customizing Gitea]({{< relref "doc/administration/customizing-gitea.en-us.md" >}}) page to add your template to the correct location.
