Subject: [PATCH] fix(actions): allow larger scheduled workflows (#38985)

MySQL stores `action_schedule.content` as `BLOB`, limiting scheduled
workflow definitions to 65,535 bytes. Oversized workflows fail schedule
refresh and can also suppress default-branch push handling.

Store scheduled workflow content as `LONGBLOB`, migrate existing MySQL
columns, and cover the migration by persisting 65,536 bytes.

Fixes https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/38613
