fix: resolve infinite recursion in Repository.UnmarshalJSON

[adlternative]

I encountered an issue during the process of integrating zoekt with gitea go-gitea/gitea#33850:

runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit

Then I discovered that it was because the encoding/json jsonv2 enabled in gitea has a bug:
golang/go#75361

In short, jsonv2 causes an infinite loop when declaring a new type in a struct's UnmarshalJSON() method and then unmarshaling this new type, while jsonv1 avoids this issue by default, resulting in incompatibility between v1/v2.

Therefore, currently the simplest fix is to define type repository Repository instead of type repository *Repository in the Repository's UnmarshalJSON method to avoid infinite loop stack overflow.

How to reproduce this bug, use original code and

cd /zoekt && GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2 go test -tags=jsonv2 -run TestRepositoryUnmarshalJSONStackOverflowFix  -v
=== RUN   TestRepositoryUnmarshalJSONStackOverflowFix
runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit
runtime: sp=0x14020f90390 stack=[0x14020f90000, 0x14040f90000]
fatal error: stack overflow

runtime stack:
runtime.throw({0x100ccf716?, 0x100698c30?})
