fix(repo_mirror_push): resolve mirror credential from server env, not the payload (#49)

The mirror credential no longer has to ride the tool-call payload (which is
persisted to transcript → claudewatcher → brain → gitea history). Adds
remote_password_env: the name of a server-side env var the tool resolves at call
time, so the secret stays in the server process. An env name that resolves to
empty errors loudly rather than silently sending an empty password. Raw
remote_password still works but the schema/description now mark it DISCOURAGED.

Tests: password resolved from the env var (never in output); unset env var →
ErrValidation.
