## Why
With the following configuration:
```bash
docker run -i --rm -e GITEA_HOST=<gitea_host> -e GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN=<gitea_access_token_for_host> docker.gitea.com/gitea-mcp-server:latest
```
after mcp-client calling a tool, the gitea client will encounter the following fatal error:
```

```
Turns out the root cause was because the `GITEA_HOST` environment variable wasn't overriding the default flag value, resulting in mismatch of host and access token.
The if statement won't be entered
7cfa1fa218/cmd/cmd.go (L74-L77)
Due to `host` could never be evaluated as an empty string from the default value `"http://gitea.com"`
7cfa1fa218/cmd/cmd.go (L35-L40)
Unless user specify `gitea-mcp ... --host <empty_string> ...` with environment `GITEA_HOST=<non_empty_string>` at the same time, which is very unlikely IMHO.
## How
- Set `host` flag default value from `GITEA_HOST` environment variable value
- Remove possible dead code if-statement
