provide working example of action to press button or update slider

Unfortunately the one example of an action path given is no longer valid since all the filtering changes

luadocs/content/lua.api.manual/darktable/gui/action.md

Line 21 in 7782b81

* **path** - _string_ - The full path of an action, i.e. \'lib/filter/view\'.

A random alternative still valid action path: 'iop/colorbalancergb/brilliance/highlights'

This functionality was intended for people like @AxelG-DE who might want to programmatically manipulate almost any slider or button in the gui. He has decided lua is not the way to go for him, but I would guess even for someone comfortable with lua the information here is probably not sufficient to understand how useful it could be for them.

darktable-org/lua-scripts#362 should be updated as well, and added to the library, but I think it should have some directly working examples, like the ones I gave here darktable-org/darktable#9926 (comment) (but lua versions, obviously).

Missing opening quotation mark

https://github.com/darktable-org/luadocs/blob/78b56a695a53bdfa3b381b90f24b157df8fceb77/content/lua.scripts.manual/installation.md?plain=1#L73C4-L73C4

Ln 73 in the lua scripts installation guide is missing the opening single quotation mark. It should be

    echo 'require "tools/script_manager"' > ~/.var/app/org.darktable.Darktable/config/darktable/luarc

Thanks for you help,
Oliver

Typo in Windows instructions for LUA installation

Windows
echo "require 'tools/script_manager'" > %LOCALAPPDATA%\darktable\luarc

should be

Windows
echo require "tools/script_manager" > %LOCALAPPDATA%\darktable\luarc

I have not been able to find darktable.gui.mimic referred to anywhere in the API manual
