Public File Sharing (#72)

Browse Source 
* Public File Sharing

This implements public file sharing (read-only) with and without passwords (#57).

It also fixes a problem with filenames including special characters like `#` not working properly (#71).

You can share a directory or a single file, by using the new share icon on the right of the directories/files, and click on it to manage an existing file share (setting a new password, or deleting the file share).

There is some other minor cleanup and other copy updates in the README.

Closes #57
Fixes #71

* Hide UI elements when sharing isn't allowed

My focus was to get me to replace Nextcloud for me and my family ASAP, and it turns out it's not easy to do it all in a single, installable _thing_, so I focused on the Files UI, sync, and sharing, since [Radicale](https://radicale.org/v3.html) solved my other issues better than my own solution (and it's already _very_ efficient).

## How does private file sharing work?
[Check this PR for advanced sharing with internal and external users, with read and write access that was being done and almost working](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/pull/4). I ditched all that complexity for simply using [symlinks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link), as it served my use case (I have multiple data backups and trust the people I provide accounts to, with the symlinks).
Public file sharing is now possible since [v2.2.0](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v2.2.0).

You can simply `ln -s /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<owner-user-id>/<directory-to-share> /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<user-id-to-share-with>/` to create a shared directory between two users, and the same directory can have different names, now.
