Avoid user does not exist error when detecting schedule actions when the commit author is an external user (#30357) (#30409)

Backport #30357 by @yp05327


![image](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/assets/18380374/ddf6ee84-2242-49b9-b066-bd8429ba4d76)

When repo is a mirror, and commit author is an external user, then
`GetUserByEmail` will return error.

reproduce/test:
- mirror Gitea to your instance
- disable action and enable it again, this will trigger
`DetectAndHandleSchedules`

ps: also follow #24706, it only fixed normal runs, not scheduled runs.
