feat(renderer): add renderer.root_folder_label (#1746)

* Add new renderer setting `add_root_updir` to fix #1743.

* Fix default value in docs.

* Remove proposed “add_root_updir” and rename “root_folder_modifier” to “root_folder_label”. Also, “root_folder_label” can be also a function now.

* chore: warn users about breaking change

* fix(#1743): use silent migration of root_folder_modifier

* fix(#1743): add example, document previous renderer.root_folder_modifier

* Add check to validate return type of “root_folder_label” is string.

* Change “root_folder_label” default value to “:~:s?$?/..?”.

* Add missing keyword “local” to local variable “label”.
