Prepare the Gitea move: measured CI deviations, self-hosted Renovate, issue migration script

Groundwork for #225, built on a throwaway pull request against the Gitea
instance rather than on assumptions. The move itself is not part of this
change - no Actions are switched off, no mirror is enabled, no branch
protection is touched.

What the probe run measured, and what follows from it:

- Which jobs need a Docker socket: only the install-test. Measured per
  job - detect-changed-charts, build-chart, the quantity render and the
  Trivy config scan all pass on `ubuntu-latest`, which on that instance
  has no socket. The install-test dies there at "Create k3d cluster"
  with "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon", an error naming k3d and
  never the runner label. Its `runs-on` is now an expression: the label
  `ubuntu-docker` on Gitea, `ubuntu-latest` on GitHub, because the
  former does not exist there and a chart PR would otherwise queue
  forever during the handover. Gitea evaluates it - the probe job was
  taken by the docker runner.

- The install-test still cannot pass on Gitea. That daemon is rootless
  with "Cgroup Driver: none"; the k3s node restarts immediately with an
  empty log because k3s needs cgroup delegation. The label is necessary
  and not sufficient, and the fix is the maintainer's.

- aquasecurity/setup-trivy cannot be used on Gitea: it checks out
  aquasecurity/trivy from github.com with `github.token`, which there is
  a Gitea token, and ends on "could not read Username for
  https://github.com". Replaced by the release tarball - one request,
  same behaviour on both forges, green on the probe run.

Also in this change:

- .github/workflows/renovate.yml, Renovate in self-operation: a daily
  scheduled run in the official container, inert on github.com via a
  `github.server_url` guard. Every rule proved by dry run instead of
  assumed - the pinned Renovate image is tracked by the built-in
  github-actions manager (44.80.0 -> 44.87.1, minor), TRIVY_VERSION is
  still tracked after setup-trivy is gone (v0.72.0 -> v0.74.0, minor),
  and `ubuntu-docker` is not extracted by the github-runners manager at
  all, so nothing will quietly "correct" it.

- ci/migrate-issues-to-gitea.sh, runnable, with --dry-run, and NOT run.
  Its header names what it cannot do: comment authorship, the #<n>
  references between issues, and attachments.

- CLAUDE.md and README.md on the new flow: which forge and which tool,
  auto-merge on green checks in place of the merge queue Gitea does not
  have, and the measured differences of the two CIs.

Refs #225 - deliberately no "Fixes": the move is not finished with this.

# This is the only job that needs a Docker socket: it creates a k3d

# label carries Docker, so the question never came up. On the Gitea
# instance it was MEASURED on a probe pull request, per job:
# detect-changed-charts, build-chart, the quantity render and the Trivy
# scan all pass on `ubuntu-latest` - none of them needs Docker - while the
# install-test dies there at "Create k3d cluster" with "Cannot connect to
# the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock", an error that points
# at k3d and never at the runner label. `ubuntu-docker` is the label that
# carries a socket, and Gitea does evaluate this expression: the probe job
# was picked up by the docker runner with labels ["ubuntu-docker"].
#
# Why an expression and not a plain `ubuntu-docker`: that label does not
# exist on GitHub, so every chart PR would sit queued forever for as long
# as this repo still builds on github.com - blocking the merge with no
# error anywhere. github.server_url is the one context value that separates
# the two without naming our instance.
#
# KNOWN, and not fixed by this line: `ubuntu-docker`'s daemon is ROOTLESS
# and reports "Cgroup Driver: none" plus "Running in rootless-mode without
# cgroups". k3d then gets as far as starting the k3s node, which restarts
# immediately with an empty log, because k3s needs cgroup delegation. Until
# the instance's Docker-in-Docker provides it, this job cannot pass on
# Gitea - see #225. The label is necessary, it is just not sufficient.
