fix: keep request payloads out of the issue store

`labels.py` handed `_gitea.api` the issue store as a place to put the
request file, and on a checkout without a store that quietly created
`tmp/issues/.payload/`. Bootstrapping a repository's labels touches no
issue at all, so the one rule the store has — nothing materializes it as
a side effect of a write — was broken by an operation that has no
business knowing the store exists.

Where a request body goes was never the caller's decision to make. It is
now the transport's: `tmp/payload/`, resolved from `_gitea.py`'s own
location the way both domains resolve theirs, so every caller — sync and
wiki alike — writes to one directory whatever it was invoked from, and
`out_root` is gone from `api`, `add_dependency` and all six call sites.
The directory is created by the first write of a run and not before: a
`--dry-run` leaves nothing behind. `tmp/` is already gitignored.

The name carries the distinction the old path lost. A store holds the
only copy of something; this holds debris kept for a retry or a
post-mortem, and deleting it costs nothing. A dotdir sitting among an
issue's files claimed otherwise, and `ls tmp/issues` started lying about
what existed.

tests/test_payload_root.py runs the real `labels.py` in a throwaway repo
against a fake `tea` on PATH: no store appears, the payloads land in
tmp/payload/, a dry run writes nothing, and a run from a subdirectory
still resolves to the repo root. Two source checks keep the callers from
drifting apart again.

Where request bodies land, and that writing one never conjures a store.
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
Stdlib unittest, no third-party anything. The bug these tests pin down:
`labels.py --bootstrap` on a fresh checkout left `tmp/issues/.payload/` behind,
because the only place `_gitea.api` had to put a request file was whatever root
the caller handed it — and the label bootstrap, which touches no issue at all,
handed it the issue store. A store materialized as a side effect of an
operation that has nothing to do with issues.
Every run here is against a throwaway repository with a FAKE `tea` first on
PATH, so nothing reaches the network and the developer's own store is never in
the blast radius.
