Subject: [PATCH] Stop tracking app.ini to prevent runtime secrets from
 blocking git pull

Gitea populates secret fields (LFS_JWT_SECRET, SECRET_KEY, etc.) at
startup, causing app.ini to always show as modified. Since secrets are
already passed via environment variables, the tracked file is replaced
with an ignored app.ini and a tracked app.ini.template for reference.
