Restrict `[actions].DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` to only `github` or `self` (#25581)

Resolve #24789

## :warning: BREAKING :warning:

Before this, `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` cound be set to any custom URLs like
`https://gitea.com` or `http://your-git-server,https://gitea.com`, and
the default value was `https://gitea.com`.

But now, `DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL` supports only
`github`(`https://github.com`) or `self`(the root url of current Gitea
instance), and the default value is `github`.

If it has configured with a URL, an error log will be displayed and it
will fallback to `github`.

Actually, what we really want to do is always make it
`https://github.com`, however, this may not be acceptable for some
instances of internal use, so there's extra support for `self`, but no
more, even `https://gitea.com`.

Please note that `uses: https://xxx/yyy/zzz` always works and it does
exactly what it is supposed to do.

Although it's breaking, I belive it should be backported to `v1.20` due
to some security issues.
