Add matrix to support (#26382)
This PR adds our matrix space to the support options and alphabetizes
the list.

I also considered adding our Mastodon, however that isn't as suitable as
the other options because it's just whoever has access to the account vs
a community chat/forum.

# Support Options
- [Paid Commercial Support](https://about.gitea.com/)
- [Discord](https://discord.gg/Gitea)
- [Discourse Forum](https://discourse.gitea.io/)
- [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#gitea-space:matrix.org)
- NOTE: Most of the Matrix channels are bridged with their counterpart in Discord and may experience some degree of flakiness with the bridge process.
**NOTE:** When asking for support, it may be a good idea to have the following available so that the person helping has all the info they need:
1. Your `app.ini` (with any sensitive data scrubbed as necessary).
2. The Gitea logs, and any other appropriate log files for the situation.
- When using systemd, use `journalctl --lines 1000 --unit gitea` to collect logs.
- When using docker, use `docker logs --tail 1000 <gitea-container>` to collect logs.
- By default, the logs are outputted to console. If you need to collect logs from files,
you could copy the following config into your `app.ini` (remove all other `[log]` sections),
then you can find the `*.log` files in Gitea's log directory (default: `%(GITEA_WORK_DIR)/log`).
```ini
; To show all SQL logs, you can also set LOG_SQL=true in the [database] section
[log]
LEVEL=debug
MODE=console,file
```
3. Any error messages you are seeing.
4. When possible, try to replicate the issue on [try.gitea.io](https://try.gitea.io) and include steps so that others can reproduce the issue.
- This will greatly improve the chance that the root of the issue can be quickly discovered and resolved.
5. If you encounter slow/hanging/deadlock problems, please report the stack trace when the problem occurs.
Go to the "Site Admin" -> "Monitoring" -> "Stacktrace" -> "Download diagnosis report".
