Subject: [PATCH] feat(infra): auto-generate Gitea admin password and runner
 token
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Replace var.gitea_admin_password with random_password (like Grafana)
- Replace var.gitea_runner_token with terraform_data bootstrapper that
  calls the Gitea admin API after first deploy and patches the secret
- Empty variables.tf — no manual secrets needed on terraform apply
