fix(actions): bound requested artifact retention (#39894) (#39946)

`actions/upload-artifact` v4 and later send an absolute `expires_at`
computed with the runner's clock, which Gitea stored unchecked. A runner
clock running behind made artifacts expire at the next cleanup, and
workflows could keep artifacts longer than `ARTIFACT_RETENTION_DAYS`.

- Requested expiries are bounded by Gitea's clock, at least 1 day and at
most `ARTIFACT_RETENTION_DAYS` when it is not `0`. Longer
`retention-days` requests now get the instance limit.
- `github.retention_days` now carries `ARTIFACT_RETENTION_DAYS`, so
upload actions cap `retention-days` themselves and log a warning, like
on GitHub.
