Support configuration variables on Gitea Actions (#24724)

Co-Author: @silverwind @wxiaoguang 
Replace: #24404

See:
- [defining configuration variables for multiple
workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables#defining-configuration-variables-for-multiple-workflows)

Workflow:
```yaml
  test_vars:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Print Custom Variables
        run: echo "${{ vars.test_key }}"
      - name: Try to print a non-exist var
        run: echo "${{ vars.NON_EXIST_VAR }}"
```

---
This PR just implement the org / user (depends on the owner of the
current repository) and repo level variables, The Environment level
variables have not been implemented.
Because
[Environment](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment#about-environments)
is a module separate from `Actions`. Maybe it would be better to create
a new PR to do it.
