Deleted custom /home/cal/.claude/scripts/gitea-create-pr.sh script and replaced with native tea CLI tool.

Old approach:
gitea-create-pr.sh cal/repo branch main 'Title' 'Description'

New approach:
tea pulls create --repo cal/repo --head branch --base main --title 'Title' --description 'Description'

Benefits:
- No custom script maintenance
- Better error handling from native Gitea CLI
- Support for advanced features (labels, assignees, milestones, deadlines)
- Consistent with other Gitea operations (repos list, issues list, etc.)
- tea is already authenticated as cal@homelab

Updated ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md with tea pulls create examples and removed script references.

This is part of the broader migration from gh CLI (GitHub-only) to tea CLI (Gitea-native).
