Subject: [PATCH] add badge for zenith (#188)

See: https://gitea.com/gitea/docs/pulls/451

repost:
hey, i'm part of a startup called Zenith Hosting. we help people deploy open source software with one click, where we handle persistent storage, backups, etc. we personally use gitea for a lot of our own personal selfhosting experiments, and we added Gitea to our platform. this PR simply adds a small badge to the docs page for cloud providers. badge currently links to https://zenith.hosting/host/gitea?ref=gh.

p.s., you can reach us at [hello@zenith.hosting](mailto:hello@zenith.hosting) if you wanna chat with us to know a bit more :)Reviewed-on: https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea/pulls/188
