nixos/zed: use global sendmail if configured

This simplifies the setup to receive emails from the ZFS Event Daemon
by relying on the sendmail wrapper defined by other modules such as
msmtp or Postfix.

This is more similar to how other modules like smartd deal with email
configuration.

The user is no longer required to define and rebuild their own ZFS
package to add email support.

 - Gitea 1.21 upgrade has several breaking changes, including:
   - Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in `custom/public/*` now belong in `custom/public/assets/*`
   - New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the `[database].CHARSET` config option and always use the `utf8mb4` charset, existing instances should migrate via the `gitea doctor convert` CLI command.
