Better display of bot accounts on UI

[typed-sigterm]

Description

Although bots (type = 4) cannot sign in, the checkbox is still available:

And I don't think these features are applicable to bots - GitHub also disables them:

Perhaps we can add a Bot badge on the account page of the bots and the org/team page, just like on the management page:

I believe this is a bug. The bot account type was added without proper UI integration, leaving many inconsistencies across the system. Moving forward, we should avoid introducing incomplete features and focus on building a well-designed system.

Key considerations:
- Clearly define the differences between a bot account and a regular user account.
- If a bot user cannot log in, how should tokens be generated? Should we introduce a “sudo” mode for web operations, similar to API access?
- How does a bot user differ from an app user if we plan to implement a GitHub-style App system?

By addressing these points, we can ensure a more robust and user-friendly implementation.

It seems that API sudo mode cannot generate an access token for another either, and the token generated by gitea admin user create --access-token has no scope. I must manually edit its scopes in the database.

@lunny it was implemented that way intentionally, as a minimal implementation. Rather than a large PR, multiple minor enhancements were made. Since it is still not possible to set a user as a bot without modifying the database this approach was found suitable so at least some advanced users could attempt to use it.

Also, I think bot activities should be excluded from the dashboard.

Maybe it should be an option.
