feat: remove ArgoCD Image Updater, replaced by Forgejo webhook

Image promotion now handled by api-gw webhook endpoint
(/v1/webhooks/forgejo) which patches ArgoCD Application CRs
on Forgejo package push events (homelab-frontend PR #55).

- Delete Image Updater Application and values
- Remove argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io annotations from all apps
- Registry secrets kept (used by webhook digest queries + imagePullSecrets)
