fix(api): keep milestone due date when it is omitted in edit request (#39869) (#39921)

Backport https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39869

`PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/milestones/{id}` always overwrote the due
date with `due_on`, so a request that only changed other fields, such as
`{"state": "closed"}`, silently removed it.

The due date is now kept when `due_on` is omitted, and `"due_on": null`
or `"due_on": ""` remove it.

Only the milestone fix is backported. The issue and pull request
deadline changes of https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39869 build
on https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/38677, which isn't on v28.
