Feature Description

Essentially identical to #25034, it may be good to add support since a database password can sometimes be treated as a secret injected through docker or otherwise.

In other words, PASSWD_URI should be an available configuration option. Based on the pull request #25408 (relevant portion in image) which solved it, I'm assuming it is as simple as adding this before line 67:

Database.Passwd = loadSecret(rootCfg.Section("database"), PASSWD_URI", "PASSWD")
in gitea/modules/setting/database.go
