refactor: move the transport onto the official Gitea SDK

The transport was hand-rolled net/http against the REST API. The payload shapes
were ours, in internal/wire, which meant every field Gitea learned was a field
somebody here had to notice; and "does this instance have issue dependencies?"
had to be guessed from a status code, because a 404 from a missing route and a
404 from a missing issue look alike.

The SDK settles both. The shapes are maintained by the people who maintain the
server, and the client negotiates the server's version when it is built, so the
dependency endpoint is now gated on `>= 1.20.0` — verified against the release
where the route appears, not assumed. Below the gate nothing is requested at all.

internal/wire keeps what the SDK has no answer for: addressing. The SDK takes an
owner, a name and an int64 and never parses, while `42`, `#42`, `owner/repo#42`
and an issue URL are four spellings of one address, all four are what somebody
has in hand, and Key is what the ledger is keyed by. The payload structs go.

Four things that had to survive the move, and did:

- request bodies still land in .kettle/payload/, now via an http.RoundTripper on
  the client the SDK is given — which is better than before, because it files
  every request rather than the ones a call site remembered to name;
- errors still carry the HTTP status AND the response body, and a decode failure
  on a 2xx is deliberately not an APIError, so the dependency probe cannot read
  a bad decode as "feature missing";
- the number -> slug ledger is untouched, entries still outlive the files they
  name;
- Client.For(repo) still re-points at another repository for one call.

What it cost, written down in AGENTS.md where it happened. internal/mapping's
layering test was a fact about the import graph — nothing in its closure could
open a socket — and the SDK ships its types and its client in one package, so
the test now asserts what is still true: the bridge performs no I/O, checked on
direct imports plus a grep for time.Now. A run makes one extra request before it
does anything. Gitea's issue edit endpoint carries no labels, so a push whose
labels changed needs a second call; push makes it and says so. go.mod requires
go 1.26, which the SDK sets and which is now the floor for building this binary.

internal/issue and internal/project are byte-identical. The domain did not
notice, which is the whole argument for the layering.

which the SDK requires; that is now the minimum for anybody building this binary.
The transport was hand-rolled `net/http` against the REST API and is now the
official SDK. What that bought:
- **the payload shapes are one vocabulary, maintained by the people who maintain
the server.** They used to be ours, in `internal/wire`, and every field Gitea
learned was a field somebody here had to notice.
- **the server's version, for free.** The SDK negotiates it when a client is
built, which is what lets the transport answer "does this instance have issue
dependencies?" from the version instead of guessing from a status code — see
`dependenciesSince`.
What it cost is written down where it happened: the shapes come with an HTTP
client attached (see the layering note below), a run makes one extra request
before it does anything (the version handshake), and Gitea's issue **edit**
endpoint carries no labels, so an issue whose labels changed needs a second call
`push` makes it and says so.
The SDK is imported as `sdk` everywhere, so one type has one spelling across the
tree. `internal/gitea` is the package named `gitea` and the SDK is `sdk` inside
it; the same alias holds in `internal/mapping` and `internal/cmd`.

domain — and another names `net/http`, `net`, `os/exec` and `encoding/json`,
standard library the first test would not catch. **Untouched by the migration
to the SDK, and that is the point: the domain did not notice it happened.**
- `internal/wire` imports only the standard library, checked the same two ways.
- `internal/gitea` must not import `internal/issue` **or** `internal/mapping`:
the transport knows numbers, logins, HTTP and JSON, and none of what they mean.
- `internal/mapping` performs no I/O and imports neither the transport nor the
configuration.
- `internal/mapping` reaches for nothing but the domain and the SDK — checked on
its DIRECT imports, with `os`, `net/http` and `internal/gitea` named — and a
second test greps its sources for `time.Now`.
`wire` exists because Go needs the JSON shapes to be one type. The transport and
the bridge were written in parallel and each invented its own `Issue`, `Label`,
`Milestone` and `Comment`; every command on top would then have copied fields
from one struct into the other by hand, which is two vocabularies for one thing —
exactly what this layering exists to prevent. Python did not have the problem
because it passed dicts.
**That fourth rule was stronger before the SDK, and the trade is deliberate.**
The payload shapes lived in `internal/wire`, a package that imported the
standard library and nothing else, so "the bridge cannot reach a transport" was
a fact about the import graph: there was nothing in its dependency closure that
could open a socket. `code.gitea.io/sdk/gitea` is a client and a set of types in
one package, so importing the types imports the client, and a test that walked
the closure would now be asserting something false. What is still true, and what
the test now says, is that **mapping performs no I/O** — no `os`, no `net/http`,
no transport, no configuration, no clock. `time` is allowed where it was not,
because the SDK hands over a `time.Time` and somebody has to format it back into
the string an issue file holds; the clock itself is still the caller's, and the
grep for `time.Now` is what says so.
`wire` used to exist because Go needs the JSON shapes to be one type — the
transport and the bridge were written in parallel and each invented its own
`Issue`, `Label`, `Milestone` and `Comment`. The SDK settles that argument for
the shapes. **What survives is addressing**, which the SDK has no answer for at
all: it takes an owner, a name and an `int64`, and never parses. `42`, `#42`,
`owner/repo#42` and an issue URL are four spellings of one address, all four are
what somebody has in hand, and `wire.Key` is what the ledger is keyed by and
what the `gitea:` metadata field holds. So `wire` keeps `Repo`, `Key`, their
parsing and their tests, and lost the payloads.

## Issue dependencies
The one endpoint with a story. `depends:` becomes a native Gitea link, which is
what makes the tracker show the blocking panel and refuse to close a blocked
issue first, and it is read back the same way on a pull.
- **Reading** goes through the SDK (`ListIssueDependencies`).
- **Writing does not.** Gitea's own `IssueMeta` is `{index, owner, repo}` and has
been since the endpoint existed; the SDK's is `{index}`, which can only ever
link inside one repository, and a `depends:` entry is allowed to live
somewhere else. So one hand-rolled POST survives, through the same HTTP client
as everything else — same payload dump, same `*APIError`.
- **The version gates both.** The routes are absent from Gitea 1.19 and present
in 1.20, checked against the release tags themselves, so an instance older
than that is answered from the version it already gave us rather than from a
404 — which on an old server is also what "no such issue" looks like.
- **A tracker that answers with a status still means "no dependencies here"**,
because an instance that HAS the endpoint can still have them turned off for a
repository, and a pull must bring the issue back either way. A dead connection
is not that answer and never was.
