fix: resolve Gitea label names to IDs before creating an issue (v0.51.5)

Gitea's POST /repos/{repo}/issues expects `labels` as an array of numeric
label IDs, not name strings — every issue creation was failing with a 422
("cannot unmarshal JSON string into Go int64"). Now fetches the repo's
label list and resolves "bug"/"enhancement"/"question" to IDs by name
first; a repo with no matching labels (or a failed lookup) just creates
the issue unlabeled instead of failing the whole request.

+- Gitea issue creation was sending label names ("bug", "enhancement") where Gitea's API expects numeric label IDs, failing with a 422 on every attempt. Now looks up the repo's actual label IDs by name first — issues still get created (just unlabeled) if the repo doesn't have matching labels yet.
