volker.raschekandCopilot 1b82a15b7f feat!: replace postgresql-ha with CloudNativePG
The bundled `postgresql-ha` sub-chart was the only HA-ready database option, but it pinned us to a Bitnami chart
whose images are no longer freely distributed, and it bundled repmgr and pgpool into the release. Operating a
Postgres cluster through a Helm release also means the chart has to reimplement failover, backup and upgrade
orchestration that a dedicated operator already solves.

CloudNativePG is the de-facto standard operator for Postgres on Kubernetes and handles instance management,
streaming replication, switchover and rolling upgrades itself. The operator is deliberately *not* part of this
chart: cluster-scoped CRDs and controllers do not belong into an application release and would conflict with an
operator that is already installed. The chart only renders the namespaced `Cluster` resource, so the operator can
be managed independently.

Because the operator cannot be assumed to be present, `cloudnativePG.enabled` defaults to `false`. Existing users
of `postgresql` or an external database are therefore unaffected.

Credentials follow the chart-wide `secrets.*` convention. Only the password is read from a Secret, because
CloudNativePG requires `bootstrap.initdb.database` and `bootstrap.initdb.owner` as literals in the `Cluster` spec
and cannot resolve them from a Secret. The password is injected into the `init-app-ini` container as
`GITEA__database__PASSWD` instead of being written into the generated `app.ini`.

BREAKING CHANGE: The `postgresql-ha` sub-chart and all `postgresql-ha.*` values have been removed. There is no
in-place migration path between the two deployments: dump the database of the old `postgresql-ha` release with
`pg_dump`, remove the `postgresql-ha` values, deploy the chart with `cloudnativePG.enabled=true` and restore the
dump. Setting `postgresql-ha` now fails the release with a pointer to the changelog.

The `templates/gitea` subdirectory did not group anything meaningful, since every template of this chart belongs to
Gitea. It only duplicated the chart name in every path and forced the unit tests to spell out
`templates/gitea/<name>.yaml`, while `_helpers.tpl` and `NOTES.txt` already lived directly in `templates`.

All templates now live in `templates`, which matches the layout of the bundled sub-charts and the Helm defaults.

The checksum helper in `templates/_secrets.tpl` built its include path from `$root.Template.BasePath` and therefore
carried the subdirectory in a `printf` format string instead of a literal path. Without adjusting it the chart failed to
render with "no template gitea/templates/gitea/secret_config.yaml associated with template gotpl".
