🐛 Fix DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE override; 📝 correct docker run example 🐛

DATABASE_DIR fix:
The previous override hardcoded $DATA_DIR/db/sqlite, ignoring
DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE when it was explicitly set via env var. Changed
to respect DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE and only fall back to $DATA_DIR/db/sqlite
when the env var is not provided.
README:
- docker run and compose examples updated to match actual working flags:
--cgroupns private, --tty, --cap-add CHOWN/SYS_TIME/SYS_ADMIN,
--hostname FQDN, --domainname, GITEA_PROTO, DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE
with a separate sqlite volume mount
- Removed non-functional vars from examples (CONTAINER_PROTOCOL,
CONTAINER_DEFAULT_DATABASE_TYPE, DATABASE_BASE_DIR, WEB_PORT)
- Added DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE to the database env var table
- rootfs/usr/local/etc/docker/init.d/08-gitea.sh: respect DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE env var
- README.md: fix docker run/compose examples, add DATABASE_DIR_SQLITE to table
