Jean-Luc Makiola 314236ac0c fix(renovate): use a flexible internal-checks filter so ages resolve (!100) ...

Age came back `unknown` for every dependency after #98. That's the `internalChecksFilter: "none"` from that PR doing what it says on the tin — and rather more.

### Why

`lib/workers/repository/process/lookup/filter-checks.ts` short-circuits on `none`:

```js
if (internalChecksFilter === 'none') {
  release = sortedReleases.pop();     // returns here
} else {
  for (let candidateRelease of sortedReleases.reverse()) {
    ...
    const updatedCandidateRelease = await postprocessRelease(...)
```

`postprocessRelease` is the only caller that fetches a Maven artifact's `Last-Modified` header (`lib/modules/datasource/maven/index.ts:222`), so skipping the loop leaves `releaseTimestamp` unset. That empties the Age column — but it also silently voids `minimumReleaseAge` and the `renovate/stability-days` check, since both compare against that same timestamp. The cooling-off tiers were decorative.

### Fix

`flexible` keeps the intent — still prefers a version that has cleared its window, but opens the PR at the newest candidate when none has — while running the loop that populates the timestamps.

Verified with a local `--platform=local --dry-run=full`:

| dependency | new version | age |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `androidx.compose:compose-bom` | 2026.06.01 | 24 d |
| `androidx.compose.material3:material3` | 1.5.0-alpha24 | 10 d |
| `androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx` | 2.11.2 | 122 d |
| `com.android.application` (AGP) | 9.3.1 | 2 d |
| `gradle` | 9.6.1 | 29 d |

Only `ghcr.io/renovatebot/renovate` stays unknown, because the docker registry serves no timestamps at all — the run marks all 176 of its tags pending for that reason, and `flexible` is what still lets that PR through.

`Pending` rejoins the table: under a flexible filter it names the newer version being held back, rather than leaving it invisible.

### Also

Migrates the Gitea workflow manager off the deprecated `fileMatch`. Renovate's config migration was rewriting it to `managerFilePatterns` (delimited regex) on every run and warning about it; the dry run confirms the manager still picks up `.gitea/workflows` afterwards.

Validated with `renovate-config-validator` against the pinned 43.232.0.
