refactor(gitea): eliminate retry duplication, harden redactURL and MaxInt64 edge case

- Extract doGetWithReader to share retry/backoff logic between doGet and
  doGetLimited, eliminating ~60 lines of duplicated code (addresses MINOR
  finding from all reviewers).
- redactURL now strips userinfo credentials (user:pass@host) in addition
  to query parameters (addresses security-review-bot finding).
- GetPullRequestDiff treats MaxDiffSize == math.MaxInt64 as disabled,
  preventing the silent enforcement bypass where the overflow clamp makes
  the size check unreachable (addresses security-review-bot finding).
- Improved error message wording: 'response exceeds N bytes' (NIT fix).
