fix(ci): restore *vcsURL default in --gitea-url alias registration

flag.StringVar sets *p = value at registration time. Using "" as the
default overwrites the env-resolved value that --vcs-url already stored
in *vcsURL. Restore *vcsURL as the default to preserve the GITEA_URL /
VCS_URL / GITHUB_SERVER_URL resolution chain.

Fixes CI error: --vcs-url (or --gitea-url) is required for provider=gitea
