chore: initial commit of Go API gateway

Baseline for the Kong replacement on api.riotpiao.com. Brings the working
tree under version control for the first time: gateway source, the task
board that drives the agent runs, test fixtures, and K8s manifests.

Anchor the gateway ignore rule to the repo root. Unanchored, "gateway"
also matched the cmd/gateway/ source directory, so the program entrypoint
was excluded from every commit.
