feat: config command to edit config files (#1140)

Changing a setting after `generate-config` meant hand-editing YAML, which is awkward in provisioning scripts. `config` now edits an existing file in place:

```bash
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config set runner.capacity 4
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config set runner.envs.MY_VAR value
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config add runner.labels 'ubuntu:docker://node:22'
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config remove runner.labels 'ubuntu:docker://node:22'
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config get runner.labels
```

Edits go through the YAML node tree, so comments, key order and the blank lines between top-level sections survive — a test asserts that appending a label to `config.example.yaml` changes nothing but the added line. Keys are resolved by reflecting over the `Config` struct's yaml tags, so an unknown key or a value of the wrong type is rejected before the file is touched. The write is atomic and keeps the file's symlink, owner, mode and line endings.

#### Editing a config file
`config` changes an existing file in place, keeping its comments and key order, which is handy in provisioning scripts:
```bash
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config set runner.capacity 4
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config set runner.timeout 90m # written as 1h30m0s
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config set runner.envs.MY_VAR value
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config add runner.labels 'ubuntu:docker://node:22'
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config remove runner.labels 'ubuntu:docker://node:22'
./gitea-runner -c config.yaml config get runner.labels
```
`-c` is optional for these subcommands: without it they use `config.yaml` (or `config.yml`) from the working directory, falling back to the directory of the `gitea-runner` binary, and print which file they picked to stderr.
Keys are the dotted YAML path and are validated against the known options, so a typo is rejected instead of being written. `add` and `remove` only work on list options such as `runner.labels` and `container.valid_volumes`, and fail if the value is already present or missing. `set` replaces the whole list when given several values.
The file is re-encoded on every edit, so indentation is normalised to two spaces and blank lines inside a section are dropped.
