Root cause of the "Failed to reach Gitea API" / 403 errors on every retry:
`gitea admin user change-password` (used in the already-exists branch to
sync the account's password to what the user just entered) defaults to
setting must_change_password=true, unlike `user create` which was already
pinned to --must-change-password=false. Once set, Gitea rejects every API
call — including the sync script's own token-authenticated calls — with
403 "You must change your password", even though the token itself and
GITEA_URL were both completely correct. Confirmed live via a direct curl
against /api/v1/user.
Pin the same flag on change-password that create already used.

Live symptom: pasting the GitHub PAT over SSH showed the token text
landing on the terminal *after* "No GitHub token entered" had already
printed — the prompt's read() returned empty a beat before the paste
actually arrived (a paste/Enter race that isn't specific to this box,
just common over higher-latency SSH sessions). A single empty answer
was treated as "user has no token" and the install moved on silently.
Both token prompts (GitHub token, and the Gitea-token manual fallback)
now retry up to 3 times interactively before giving up, and strip
whitespace from what was captured in case the paste carried a stray
leading/trailing newline. Unattended installs still take one shot, same
as before, since nobody's there to retry.

The sync direction step only ever set up the timer (or printed manual
instructions) — there was no way to actually confirm tokens/config work
without waiting for the first scheduled run or invoking the script by
hand afterward. Add a post-configure prompt: dry-run preview (--list),
run for real right now, or skip. Defaults to dry-run interactively;
defaults to skip under UNATTENDED so a headless install with no GitHub
token configured doesn't spam preflight errors.

generate-access-token used a fixed --token-name "sync", which Gitea
rejects on a second call for the same user (e.g. a retry against an
already-existing admin account, now common after the readiness-wait
fix). The failure was silent: it fell through to a manually-labeled
"Paste the Gitea token here" prompt appearing immediately before the
real "GitHub token:" prompt, so a pasted GitHub PAT could land on the
wrong prompt and leave GITHUB_TOKEN empty with no clear reason why.
Token name now includes a timestamp so it's always unique, and the
fallback prompt is relabeled to make clear it wants a Gitea token, not
the GitHub one.

Previously the admin account was silently auto-generated (username =
ACTUAL_USER, random password) and only created after a fixed 60s
readiness probe — a slow first boot (SQLite init on a slower disk) timed
the whole install out with no account ever created, leaving the user to
create one by hand with a raw docker exec.
Now the install prompts for admin username/password up front, then folds
account creation into the same retry loop used to detect readiness (up to
2 minutes), so a slow-but-eventually-successful boot no longer dead-ends
the install. A retry against a partially-completed prior run (account
already exists) is treated as success and syncs the password instead of
failing outright.

Gitea previously only existed bundled inside the full ai-stack service
(Ollama/ComfyUI/InvokeAI/etc. all together) — no way to get just a git
server without the rest of that heavy stack. This adds it as its own
lightweight service, reusing the vendored gitea-github-sync.sh but not
any of ai-stack's other components.
- Auto-creates a Gitea admin account and API token via the container's
own CLI (no manual web setup wizard).
- Asks GitHub token, sync direction (GitHub->Gitea / Gitea->GitHub /
both), and whether to install a systemd timer for automatic sync —
prints manual commands instead if declined.
- Own systemd unit for the timer rather than the vendor script's
built-in --install-timer, since that always runs both directions
with no way to pin a single direction.
