Add Gitea Actions workflow to auto-provision Coder templates

.gitea/workflows/coder-templates.yml pushes every templates/<env>/ dir
to Coder as profiles-<env> on every push to main that touches
templates/**, scripts/**, or profile-templates/** - coder templates push
creates the template on first run and updates it thereafter, so adding a
new templates/<env>/ directory is enough to provision it, no workflow
edits needed.

It also diffs templates/ against the previous commit and runs
`coder templates delete profiles-<env>` for any directory that was
removed. Deletion fails (loudly, as a job warning, not a hard failure)
rather than succeeding if the template still has active workspaces,
since coder templates delete already refuses that server-side.

Runs on the ubuntu-latest self-hosted Gitea runner already registered on
this instance (confirmed via gitea-runner-1's /data/.runner labels) and
installs the coder CLI itself. Needs CODER_URL and CODER_SESSION_TOKEN
as repo/org Actions secrets - documented in README, left for the user to
set up since token creation needs their own Coder login.

name: Provision Coder Templates
# Keeps Coder templates in sync with templates/*/ in this repo:
# - every push to main pushes a new version of each templates/<env>/ dir
# (coder templates push creates it if it doesn't exist yet, so adding a
# new templates/<env>/ directory is enough to provision a new one)
# - if a templates/<env>/ directory is removed on main, its template is
# deleted from Coder. `coder templates delete` refuses to delete a
# template that still has active workspaces, so this can't silently
# orphan running workspaces - it just fails loudly and needs a human.
#
# Requires two repo/org secrets (Settings > Actions > Secrets):
# CODER_URL e.g. https://code.octoturge.com
# CODER_SESSION_TOKEN a token from `coder tokens create`, ideally under a
# dedicated service account rather than a personal one

Each `templates/<env>/main.tf` is a complete, independent Coder template

### Auto-provisioning (Gitea Actions)
`.gitea/workflows/coder-templates.yml` keeps Coder in sync with this repo on
every push to `main` that touches `templates/**`, `scripts/**`, or
`profile-templates/**`:
- **Add** a new `templates/<env>/` directory -> next push creates a new
Coder template `profiles-<env>` automatically. No workflow edits needed.
- **Edit** an existing `templates/<env>/main.tf` (or a shared script/profile
it references) -> next push updates that template with a new version.
- **Remove** a `templates/<env>/` directory -> next push deletes
`profiles-<env>` from Coder. `coder templates delete` refuses if the
template still has active workspaces, so this fails loudly instead of
silently orphaning anyone's running workspace - that failure only shows up
as a `::warning::` in the job log, it doesn't fail the whole run.
It runs on the `ubuntu-latest` self-hosted runner already registered on this
Gitea instance and installs the `coder` CLI itself via `coder.com/install.sh`.
**One-time setup required** (not something this workflow can do for itself -
needs a human with Coder access):
1. Create a Coder API token - ideally under a dedicated service account
rather than a personal login, since this token can create/delete
templates:
```sh
coder login https://code.octoturge.com
coder tokens create --name gitea-ci --lifetime 8760h
```
2. In Gitea, go to this repo's **Settings -> Actions -> Secrets** (or the
org-level equivalent to share across repos) and add:
- `CODER_URL` = `https://code.octoturge.com`
- `CODER_SESSION_TOKEN` = the token printed by step 1
Until those secrets exist, the workflow will run and fail cleanly at the
`coder templates push` step rather than doing anything destructive.
