🔧 Improve health check logic in Gitea workflows

- Enhanced health check mechanisms in `ci-cd-fast.yml` and `ci-cd-zero-downtime-fixed.yml` to utilize `docker exec` for internal checks, addressing issues with direct port access.
- Updated health check logic to provide better error messages and fallback methods, ensuring more reliable deployment verification.
- Documented changes in `DEPLOYMENT-FIXES.md` to reflect improvements in health check processes.

✅ These updates enhance the reliability of health checks during deployments and improve debugging capabilities.
