Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): push images to Gitea registry, drop GHCR secret
 requirement
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The release-images job failed on every run because GHCR_USERNAME and
GHCR_TOKEN are not configured on the Gitea repo — and they don't need
to be: Gitea has its own container registry at the same host, reachable
with the auto-provisioned GITHUB_TOKEN.

- Derive the registry host from GITHUB_SERVER_URL (the Gitea base URL)
- Log in with $GITHUB_TOKEN + ${{ github.actor }}
- Tag images as <gitea-host>/<owner>/<repo>-{app,migrator}:sha-<commit>
- Add packages: write permission
- Drop the workflow_call secrets block — no external secrets needed

Consumers (deploy-staging.yml, deploy-prod.yml) that previously pulled
from ghcr.io/<owner>/<repo>-app will need to be updated to pull from
the Gitea registry next; flagging separately.
