Add support for `latest` in Run-URL

[JOKUE2002]

Description

Whilst trying to access the latest run of my action, I noticed, that the URL https://my-gitea.tld/user/repo/actions/runs/latest would always point to the run with the ID 0 (like https://my-gitea.tld/user/repo/actions/runs/0). This would also work with any other word (e.g. 'hello', 'world', 'anything', ...) instead of latest.

Would love to see "latest" to point to the newest run (run w/ highest ID) and any other word to point nowhere.

Couldn't reproduce on try.gitea.io because I have no action-runner I can access or repurpose available

The parameter behind /run/ is supposed to be a number and a failed number conversion just results in 0. This should be a proposal.

In Github Actions. The latest is not supported. For example in Gitea repo, I get runs link https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/actions/runs/6863940854, but https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/actions/runs/latest is 404.

There is another problem.
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/actions/runs/6863940854 is from docker-dryrun workflow.
But previous one https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/actions/runs/6863940853 is from db-tests workflow.
The latest run can be from any workflow. Should we provide latest in this case ?

I am wondering why it is working on this [0] gitea server. If you look into the README.md of the mentioned repo you can see that the mainainer is using the link with latest as a tag. By following the link you always get to the latest run.

As @JOKUE2002 stated here, this is not a Gitea server, but a Forgejo server.

I am wondering why it is working on this [0] gitea server.

For starters it appears to be a forgejo server...

But would still love to see this in gitea.
If you for example have a repository with a single workflow (e.g. building a node project), getting the latest would make deployment using gitea more simple than before.

Oh you're right. I just saw the UI and assumed that it is a gitea server. But after your comment I looked again and scrolled down a bit: "Powered by Forgejo"

But I agree with you: I'd also love to see this feature in gitea.
