fix: validate gitea_edit_pr no-fields before authentication (#43)

gitea_edit_pr called _auth() (and resolved the remote) before checking whether
any editable field was provided, so a pure validation error (no fields) surfaced
as a RuntimeError "no credentials" in environments without Gitea auth — making
test_edit_pr_no_fields_raises depend on credentials/network/env.

Move the payload build + no-fields ValueError ahead of _resolve/_auth/URL setup.
Behavior is unchanged when fields are provided (same _resolve → _auth → audited
PATCH path). No change to auth, retry/backoff, audit, config profiles, or
worktree helpers.

Tests: add test_edit_pr_no_fields_validates_before_auth asserting the no-fields
path raises ValueError and calls neither get_auth_header nor api_request (even
with auth mocked to None). Existing edit-PR tests unchanged.

Full suite passes with no Gitea credentials (287 passed, 0 failures) — the
no-fields test no longer depends on the environment.

Closes #43.
