fix: restore all services after registry wipe

- Fix PostgreSQL endpoints (now auto-creating correctly)
- Fix Forgejo DB connection
- Update retention to keep 10 SHA tags (was 2, too aggressive)
- Update all deployments to use available tags
- Add missing base images to registry (alpine, node, rust, python)
- Protect base images from retention deletion
