Support GITEA_I_AM_BEING_UNSAFE_RUNNING_AS_ROOT env (#29788) (#29791)

Backport #29788 by @wolfogre

I was trying to run unit tests for Gitea on act runner, by using `make
test`.

It failed with log:

```
2024/03/14 03:09:26 ...s/setting/setting.go:180:loadRunModeFrom() [F] Gitea is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. If you need to use privileged TCP ports please instead use setcap and the `cap_net_bind_service` permission
```

So it will be convenient to skip by setting environment, since it's OK
to use root user in job containers.

It's not a bug, but I want to backport it to v1.21 since it doesn't
break anything.
