Subject: [PATCH] fix: seed app.ini into writable config volume for Gitea 1.24+

Gitea 1.24+ persists settings back to app.ini on boot (e.g. WORK_PATH).
Mounting app.ini directly as a read-only swarm config makes that write
fail (logged error, possible repo-access bugs). Mount the rendered config
as app.ini.init and seed a writable copy in the config volume instead.
