📄 Description

This fix addresses the persistent release ordering issue by detecting when existing releases in Gitea are in the wrong chronological order and automatically deleting and recreating them in the correct order.

Root Cause:

Gitea ALWAYS sorts releases by created_unix DESC, id DESC
The Gitea API provides NO way to set created_unix when creating releases
Previous fix (PR #146) only worked for NEW releases, not UPDATES
When releases are UPDATED, their created_unix timestamp doesn't change
So releases created in wrong order initially stayed wrong forever

Solution:
Before processing releases, the code now:

Fetches all existing releases from Gitea
Checks if they're in correct chronological order
If order is wrong: deletes all releases and recreates them in correct order
If order is correct: proceeds with normal update logic

How it works:

Maps each release to its expected chronological index (0=oldest, n=newest)
Checks if Gitea's releases (sorted by created_unix DESC) match expected order
Detects mis-ordering by comparing adjacent releases
Logs detailed information about ordering issues found
Deletes and recreates only when necessary (optimized)

User Impact:

Users who mirrored repos BEFORE PR #146: ordering will be fixed on next mirror
First-time mirrors: work correctly (as before)
Subsequent mirrors: verify order and fix if needed
No manual intervention required

Fixes #148
