Allow administrators to customize the builtin gitea-actions user so it matches their deployment's branding.

New [actions] settings, all empty by default (behavior unchanged):

  • BOT_FULL_NAME – display name, falls back to "Gitea Actions"
  • BOT_EMAIL – email used in webhook payloads and API responses
  • BOT_AVATAR_URL – absolute URL or site-relative path of the avatar

The username stays gitea-actions, since permission checks, protected branches and commit statuses key off it. The settings are documented in app.example.ini, which also covers the previously undocumented email.

This does not address the avatar inconsistency between the activity feed and the repo git feed, which resolves avatars from the commit email.

Closes #39741
