fix(gitea): handle disabled git hooks gracefully in secure-gitea.py
Sync GitHub / sync (push) Successful in 7s

Previously, when Gitea is installed with DISABLE_GIT_HOOKS=true (the
default), every git-hook API call returned 403 and the script:
- marked every repository as FAILED, and
- never counted the hook step at all.

This change detects the disabled state up front with a single probe
against the first editable repo:
- If hooks are disabled, it prints a clear notice, skips the pre-receive
  step for every repo (branch/tag protection still runs normally), and
  exits non-zero (2) so automation notices the run is partial.
- A per-repo 403 on the hook step is isolated (HookNotWritable) so it no
  longer clobbers the whole repo into FAILED -- branch/tag still apply,
  and the hook reports 'SKIPPED (git hooks not writable)'.
- Adds a Hooks skipped counter and distinguishes 'disabled' vs
  'not writable' in the summary.
- Fixes an UnboundLocalError on the 'no editable repos' path by
  initializing hooks_enabled before the probe.

Verified end-to-end against a mock Gitea API for both scenarios (hooks
disabled -> skip + exit 2; hooks enabled -> exact/stale/missing handled
correctly, exit 0).
