📄 Description

The app.ini template file in the Docker image is currently using mysql as default database engine. However, it's not practical as default. Because,

It require more setup to run gitea, such as:
- run a mysql instance inside docker, which has to be named as mysql,
- prepare a database called gitea,
- and the password of the mysql's root user has to be empty.
People, who are going to use mysql as the database, are more likely provide their own app.ini file, to specify the server address, mysql IP/name, reasonable user & password, etc.

So, my suggestion is that replacing the mysql with sqlite3 as default. So, anyone who just want to simply run the gitea image to get an idea, can just run the image without providing a customized app.ini file or preparing a MySQL server.
