Gitea update to 1.8 breaking config change

[Stefan Bethke]

For those of you using Gitea a quick heads-up:

In Gitea 1.8.0, a new config variable JWT_SECRET has been introduced.  If not set in gitea/conf/app.ini, Gitea will try and add it to the file; in the default setup of the port, the file is not writable by the git user, and Gitea will not start because of that.

To get Gitea going again, either add that variable (see gitea/conf/app.ini.sample), or make app.ini writable to the git user so Gitea can add a suitable value for you. Do not use the value in the sample configuration!

I’ve just submitted the PR for the update to 1.8.0, so the updated port should become available in the next couple of days.
