Harden server and add Nix-native CI + self-hosted Gitea Actions

- Add self-hosted Gitea Actions runner module (servers/hetzner/modules/services/gitea.nix)
- Add CI workflow (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml):
  - Flake check (x86_64-linux + aarch64-linux, eval-only)
  - Pre-commit checks (x86_64-linux only)
  - Gitea-native runner (no Docker); Nix from host PATH
  - NIX_CONFIG enables flakes + extra-platforms
- Remove redundant .github/workflows/ci.yml (shadows .gitea)
- Enable deadnix in pre-commit hooks (flake.nix), fix 38 files
- Add statix.toml disabling empty_pattern lint (nixpkgs standard)
- Format whole repo with alejandra (27 files)
- Fix CI nix-not-found: export /run/current-system/sw/bin in PATH
- Remove aarch64 from pre-commit matrix (no QEMU binfmt deployed yet)

+# Source: adapted from the official cachix/install-nix-action "Flakes CI workflow" example
+#   https://github.com/cachix/install-nix-action
+#   (README: "Flakes CI workflow with nix build and flake check")
+# Every action used here (actions/checkout) is from an official GitHub repo.
+#
+# Adaptations for Gitea Actions:
+#   * runs-on: native  - Gitea's self-hosted native runner. cachix/install-nix-action
+#     explicitly supports self-hosted runners, and this runner's host already provides
+#     Nix (Lix), so the installer step is omitted and flakes are enabled via NIX_CONFIG
+#     (identical to the action's `extra_nix_config: experimental-features = nix-command flakes`).
+#   * The native runner only puts its `hostPackages` on PATH, which does NOT include Nix.
+#     Each job therefore exports the host's system Nix (/run/current-system/sw/bin) onto
+#     PATH before invoking `nix`. This uses the host's actual Lix rather than installing a
+#     second Nix client that would mismatch the running Lix daemon.
+#   * Gitea context vars (gitea.workflow / gitea.head_ref / gitea.sha) for concurrency.
+#   * matrix over x86_64-linux + aarch64-linux for flake-check (--no-build, eval-only).
+#     Pre-commit checks run on x86_64-linux only: building aarch64 derivations needs
+#     QEMU binfmt (registered via boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems) + nix extra-platforms,
+#     which require a nixos-rebuild switch that hasn't been applied yet.
