empty dir creation / removal on install / delete

Hi,

indeed, I had set 64 instead of 32 byte string for JWT_SECRET in app.ini, after
fixing it forgejo started fine, I am already using it.

In the meantime I upgraded to latest 7.0.2, but now my previously valid config
won't start. Luckily, there's now instruction to check with 'forgejo doctor
check' which I ran and got:

 - [I] Work directory:             "/usr/local/share/forgejo"
 - [E]     Is REQUIRED but is not accessible. ERROR: stat
/usr/local/share/forgejo: no such file or directory

`WORK_PATH = /usr/local/share/forgejo` does not exist in app.ini.sample, but it
gets added automatically on service start provided git user can write to
app.ini.

I created dir manually and it now starts fine. Interestingly enough, it seems
irrelevant whether git user can write to it (forgejo starts when folder is
root:wheel 755).

What is this dir used for? It seems forgejo works just fine without being able
to write to it, and it being empty, without also reading from it.

I patched port so that empty dir is created at install (and removed at
deinstall), but perhaps people who understand forgejo internals better can
propose better solution.
