Clarify package permissions and tokens scopes as discussed in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/32048 (#72)

Browse Source 
This adds explanations, that were missing regarding Token scopes and the packages feature requiring a token with said scope. Also added a missing explanation, that tokens can be created in the user interface, not just the API. The reason this PR is created was due to misunderstandings around the package feature, that arose during the discussion in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/32048 .
This PR aims to clarify the misunderstood points around tokens, scopes and the package feature.

During the creation of this PR bug https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/32078 was found, the scopes are always reported as `null` during the response of the initial `POST` to create the token.
