docs(gitea): add .env.example template for the gitea MCP server env vars

The README documented exporting GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN and GITEA_HOST directly
but gave no discoverable template, and the repo has an established
per-plugin example-file convention (plugins/git/config.example.json) this
skipped. Adds plugins/gitea/.env.example with placeholder values and points
the README at it instead of duplicating the instructions inline.

Verified plugins/gitea/.env.example is trackable, not swallowed by
.gitignore's .env.* exclusion: the !.env.example allowlist line is
unanchored and matches at any depth. Also verified apm has no dotenv
auto-load anywhere in its source, so the file's instructions say to source
it explicitly rather than implying it's picked up automatically.

Full pre-push gate green, all 16 hooks. Test suite green, 26 suites.

The gitea MCP server additionally needs two environment variables exported in the shell that launches your agent. They are referenced as `${GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN}` and `${GITEA_HOST}` in `plugins/gitea/.mcp.json`, and apm passes those references through to the deployed config unexpanded, so the values are resolved at server startup and never committed:
The gitea MCP server additionally needs two environment variables in the shell that launches your agent — referenced as `${GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN}` and `${GITEA_HOST}` in `plugins/gitea/.mcp.json`, with apm passing those references through to the deployed config unexpanded so the values are resolved at server startup and never committed. Copy `plugins/gitea/.env.example` to `.env` at the repo root, fill in real values, then export it — nothing in this repo auto-loads a `.env` file:
```bash
export GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN='<your-gitea-token>'
export GITEA_HOST='https://<your-gitea-host>'
cp plugins/gitea/.env.example .env
$EDITOR .env
set -a; source .env; set +a
```
Generate the token in Gitea under Settings, Applications. Scope it to the repositories you want the agent to reach. If the server starts but every call returns an authorization error, that token is the first thing to check.
