chore(core): fix pre-existing clippy warnings (-D warnings gate)

Resolves pre-existing lint issues in imgsecret.rs, time.rs, totp.rs,
and crypto.rs that blocked the cargo clippy --workspace -D warnings
gate. No logic changes: loop-index → iterator, manual div_ceil →
.div_ceil(), manual range contains → .contains(), auto-deref cleanup.

Also fixes pre-existing warnings in relicario-cli (main.rs, session.rs,
device.rs, gitea.rs, helpers.rs, test helpers): dead_code suppression,
too_many_arguments, literal_with_empty_format_string, manual_char_cmp,
map_or → is_none_or, and repeat().take() → vec! in test helpers.

+## Configuration env vars
+
+Relicario reads the following environment variables. Each is a trust
+boundary: an attacker who can set them in the user's environment can
+influence Relicario's behavior. They are listed here for security
+reviewers to audit the surface in one place.
+
+### User-facing (active in all builds)
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Trust |
+|---|---|---|
+| `RELICARIO_IMAGE` | Override the reference-image JPEG path used during vault unlock. | Trusted: filesystem path under the user's control. Read-only; its bytes feed `imgsecret::extract_secret`. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_URL` | Gitea API base URL for `relicario device add`. Equivalent to `--gitea-url`. | Trusted: HTTPS URL. Used only in the device-add code path. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_TOKEN` | Gitea personal-access token. Equivalent to `--gitea-token`. | **Secret**: anyone who can read this env var can manage the user's deploy keys via the Gitea API. The CLI never logs it. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_OWNER` | Gitea repository owner (e.g. `alee`). Equivalent to `--owner`. | Trusted: opaque string. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_REPO` | Gitea repository name (e.g. `vault`). Equivalent to `--repo`. | Trusted: opaque string. |
+
+### Debug-only (compiled out of `cargo build --release`)
+
+The following variables are gated behind `cfg(debug_assertions)` and
+are **no-ops** in release builds. The env-var lookup is removed by the
+optimiser from any binary built without debug assertions (i.e. the
+standard `--release` profile).
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `RELICARIO_NO_GROUPS_CACHE` | Suppress the plaintext `groups.cache` write. Developer debugging tool for the cache logic. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_PASSPHRASE` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt during integration tests. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_ITEM_SECRET` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt for item-secret fields during integration tests. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt for backup export/restore passphrases during integration tests. |
