/api/: Add Markdown-based /api-new documentation. This commit allows for the /api-new/ page to rendered similarly to our /help pages. It's based on the old content for /api, but we're not replacing the old content yet, to give a bit of time to restructure things reasonably. Tweaked by eeshangarg and tabbott.

settings: Improve wording of "Show API key" modal. This commit changes the "Show API key" modal to use a more intuitive description of the user's password field, and also to put the reset password option, which should be the less common case, at the end. Fixes: #24506.
