Fix: Replace GitHub checkout with Gitea checkout + Version bump

Checkout Action Migration:
- Replace all 'actions/checkout@v4' with 'https://gitea.com/actions/checkout'
- Fixes 'Bad credentials' errors when workflows try to access GitHub API
- Native Gitea checkout action eliminates authentication issues
- Applied across all 4 workflow files (CI, Security, Release, Docs)

 Version Increment: 3.1.1  3.1.2
- Core application version updates
- Web API version synchronization
- Documentation version alignment
- Badge and release example updates

 Problem Solved:
- Workflows no longer attempt GitHub API calls
- Gitea-native checkout action handles repository access properly
- Eliminates 'Retrieving the default branch name' failures
- Cleaner workflow execution without authentication errors

 Files Updated:
- 4 workflow files: checkout action replacement
- 13 files: version number updates
- Consistent v3.1.2 across all components

 Benefits:
- Workflows will now run successfully in Gitea
- No more GitHub API authentication failures
- Native Gitea action compatibility
- Ready for successful CI/CD pipeline execution
