Remove the experimental `serverActions` flag

Based on feedback from #56603, the `/` can be interpreted as file paths instead of filename separators / delimiters. We'll change them to use pipes `|` instead.
TypeScript 5.2 now supports `Response.json` (https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/52841). That means, if we just need to return a JSON `Response`, we no longer need to import `NextResponse`. This PR updates all such instances in the documentation to use `Response.json`.
In "app/actions.ts" the function is named like create(), but in "app/add-form.tsx" file "createTodo" function is imported and used. This is related to TypeScript examples, .js files are ok.
### What?
Renamed a function.
### Why?
There are two example files in docs ([Error Handling](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations#error-handling) section) and the `app/add-form.tsx` is importing function `create` from `app/actions.ts` by another name (`createTodo`).
### How?
Fixed by renaming function to `createTodo`, to match .js file with the same example.
- Removes a line from next docs that is no longer accurate:
> Currently, if a route uses a Server Action, it is required to render
dynamically.
According
With the release of Next.js 13.5, Server Actions now work with fully
static routes (including revalidating data with ISR).

### What?
Clarify the "Forms and Mutations" docs.
### Why?
This may be opinionated, but I believe this section of the docs starts out assuming that the user knows how the `<form>` HTML works. Coming from the client side React world, most developers are used to using state in forms. Clarifying that this data is accessible via the standard web API [FormData](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData/FormData) is essential for both transitioning developers and new developers.
https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations
Some of the code blocks where I only specified TS code snippets aren't
working with JS as well (when there are no types). I think I might have
incorrectly assumed you could leave those out. So added the JS snippets
in here (same code, just different file names).
This PR is a larger change to documentation to make the following
updates:
- Deconstructs [Server
Actions](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/server-actions)
into "Forms and Mutations" and an API reference
- Removes content in place of future React API documentation pages
- Removes outdated [Building
Forms](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/building-forms)
docs from the Pages Router and adds conditional content for both routes
in "Forms and Mutations"
- Adds TypeScript code blocks to API Routes page, recommends Route
Handlers for isomorphic signatures.
- Updates `revalidatePath` and `revalidateTag` docs to have a Server
Actions example.

We initially wrote the [React
page](https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/react-essentials) to
introduce Server Components in the App Router, but over time, some
implementation details have changed, and the information has become
stale. The React team is working on adding new docs, so I'd like to
change the narrative on the Next.js docs from "client vs. server
components" to "writing code for the server and for the client" - and
link back to the React documentation when it becomes available.
As React developers, we're very familiar with writing code for the
client, it's nice and simple. But doing so comes at the expense of not
being familiar with the server. The aim of these docs is to help
developers become proficient in both the client and server environments.
I'd like to take it back to the foundations, and not use abstractions
like SSG and CSR, MPAs or SPAs, as those terms come with their own set
of assumptions that make it harder to understand how RSC works. Instead,
we'll focus on the request lifecycle, show how application code flows
from the server to the client, and discuss the trade-offs of doing
operations in each environment.

In the data fetching page, we discuss the different ways you can fetch data in Next.js. This PR adds a fourth option which is to call route handlers from client components. I've also added a note that you shouldn't call a route handler from a server component.

This PR updates cache revalidation snippets in the docs. It seems that `res` should not be there since you can't find it anywhere in the snippet so I suppose that the intent was to use `NextResponse` instead. Another thing is that now we're checking the existence of the params so typescript doesn't get mad at us. And last I changed the methods to `POST` since AFAIK webhooks normally use the `POST` method.
Please let me know if there's anything left to do on my side.
Have a great day!

Based on the feedback from #53435, this PR adds an example of redirection inside Server Actions to the docs. Currently, we have examples of getting/setting cookies but there's nothing for `redirect()`.
This PR document the caching semantics in Next.js, how they interact, and what APIs affect them. We're also taking the opportunity to consolidate terminology, remove duplicate content, and update sections of the docs that relate to caching.
### Documentation
- [x] Create a new section for caching
- [x] Explain how the different caching mechanisms work
- [x] Request Memoization (React Cache)
- [x] Persistent Data Cache
- [x] Persistent Full Route Cache
- [x] In-memory, client-side Router Cache
- [x] Document how different APIs affect caching
- [x] Document cache interactions

- [ ] ~Create a page to explain how **Client and Server Components** are rendered~. Moved to this PR: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/51579
- [x] Data fetching section
- [x] Consolidate data fetching story for fetching, caching, and revalidating
- [x] Clarify data fetching story with 3rd party libraries and React `cache`
- [x] Create **Data Fetching Patterns** page
- [x] Document other related behaviors:
- [x] Update information on scroll position for back/forward navigation
- [x] Remove the concepts of **soft and hard navigation**
- [x] Remove the concepts of **static and dynamic data fetching**
- [x] Use consistent terminology **runtime** 👉🏼 **request time**. Runtime for Edge and Node.js, request time to describe when dynamic stuff happens
