Move vlda-01 Gitea backup destination to the WSD2L840 unassigned disk

Browse Source 
Was landing in /mnt/user/appdata/ (array storage); moved to a dedicated
external disk per request. That disk isn't guaranteed to already be
mounted when the pull script runs, so it now resolves the device by
filesystem label (not a hardcoded /dev/sdX - unassigned device paths
aren't stable across reboots) and mounts it itself via the Unassigned
Devices plugin's own tool, refusing to proceed unless a real mountpoint
actually comes up - avoids the failure mode of silently writing backups
onto the array if the disk is unplugged or fails to mount. Migrated the
two already-pulled archives to the new location and verified the
updated script end-to-end through the real scheduled-invocation path.
