doc: replace URL action example with form
The example to provide a link to take or resolve an item was broken.
Roundup has required a POST not GET for changes to the database for
a while. This example was never fixed.
Replaced a link using GET with a POSTed form. This changes the
activating element from a link to a button. The button could be
restyled as a link using CSS I think.
The original example was also not canonical. It used :action rather
than the canonical @action.

========================= Roundup Tracker Templates ========================= The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically ``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and on Windows this is ``c:\python27\share\roundup\templates\``. The template loading looks in four places to find the templates: 1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``. This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is installed running setup.py from source. 2. ``install_dir``/../<prefix>/share/....``, where prefix is the Python's ``sys.prefix``. ``sys.base_prefix`` or `sys.base_prefix/local``. This finds templates (and locales) installed by pip. E.G. in a virtualenv located at (``sys.prefix``): ``/tools/roundup``, roundup would be at: ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/roundup``. The templates would be at: ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tools/roundup/share/roundup/templates/``. 3. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../../share/roundup/templates/*``. This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source) directory. 4. ``<current working dir>/*``. This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template. 5. ``<current working dir>``. This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir. Templates contain: - modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py`` - directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions`` (with appropriate contents) - optional ``config_ini.ini`` file. It is structured like a tracker's ``config.ini`` but contains only headers (e.g. ``[main]``) and *required* parameters that are different from defaults: e.g. ``template_engine = jinja2`` and ``static_files = static``. These settings override the default values saved to the tracker's ``config.ini``. - template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains the name of the template, a description of the template and its intended audience. An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt:: Name: classic Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs, feature requests, project issues or any number of other types of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template suits them, with perhaps a few customisations. Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
