Mathieu Fenniak 81a5b0d840 fix: remove default 'REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES = *' from docker config (#12782)
Forgejo's docker containers had `REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES = *` configured in them by default.  In the event that the Forgejo sysadmin set the docker environment variable `FORGEJO__service__ENABLE_REVERSE_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION` to the value `true`, *and* an unauthorized user could access Forgejo without traversing a reverse proxy performing authentication, then an unauthorized user could use the `X-WebAuth-User` HTTP header to impersonate any user.  While this is an unlikely set of configuration settings, it seems more prudent for the Forgejo to require a sysadmin to choose an appropriate value for `REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES`.  Even in a containerized environment, this value can be used safely and set to reasonable values if firewall-level networking is in use (eg. using [Docker with iptables](https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/firewall-iptables/)), which is the common default for docker systems in 2026.

The intent of this PR is to change the default in Forgejo 16, and to mark it as a breaking change for highlighting in the release notes.  The risk of misconfiguration is not high enough to backport this breaking change to earlier Forgejo releases.

If a sysadmin wants to use the previous configuration, they can set the environment variable `FORGEJO__service__REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES` to the value `*`, but it would be recommended that they revise the setting to a narrower set of trusted IPs that they expect reverse proxy connections from.  See the [`[security]`](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/config-cheat-sheet/#security-security) config block for more information.
