docs: tell agents not to hard-wrap prose in posted bodies

Add a "Writing text for Gitea" section and gotcha rule: compose PR/issue
bodies, comments, reviews, release notes and wiki pages as normal paragraphs,
without arbitrary line breaks — and unwrap text copied from hard-wrapped
commit messages. Cross-reference from pr/issue create and release create.

## Writing text for Gitea
When you compose a PR or issue title/body, a comment, a review, release notes or
a wiki page, write normal paragraphs. **Do not insert hard line breaks at a
fixed width or between sentences** — let the renderer wrap the text. Separate
paragraphs with one blank line; use list markers, code fences and tables only
when the content is actually a list, code or a table.
Bodies pasted from a commit message or an editor often carry that source's
manual wrapping. Strip the wrapping before posting so the body reads as flowing
paragraphs.
