Adds OpenID Connect workload identity to Gitea Actions: jobs declaring
`id-token: write` can request short-lived tokens to authenticate to
cloud providers and other services without stored secrets. Tokens follow
GitHub's format, so clients like `@actions/core` and existing trust
policies carry over.
- Issuer at `/api/actions/oidc` with discovery and JWKS, signed with a
dedicated RS256 key
- GitHub's claims, including `workflow_ref`, `job_workflow_ref` and the
immutable `repo:owner@id/repo@id:ref:...` subject
- `id-token: write` or `write-all` grant it, default permissions and
fork pull requests never get it, owner and repository maximum
permissions can disable it
- Reusable workflows record the exact ref they were loaded from, and
dispatch rejects refs that only resolve through a same-named tag
- Generated signing keys are written atomically, and generated ES384 and
ES512 OAuth2 keys use their own curves instead of P-256
- `github.ref_type` is `branch` for pull request runs, like on GitHub
