fix(setup): make docker compose work out of the box (#88)

Issue #88 (kevinpapst): the bundled docker-compose.yml didn't actually
work. Three concrete blockers:

- expose:3000 → ports:"3000:3000" so the host can reach the app
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD was hard-coded to "healthlog" — now required via
  env var, and DATABASE_URL inside the compose service interpolates
  the same variable so the two cannot drift apart
- .env.example DATABASE_URL pointed at localhost:5432, which never
  resolves inside the app container; replaced with db:5432 plus a
  note explaining the local-dev variant

.env.example is also rewritten as proper documentation: each variable
explains what it does, why it matters, and how to generate it
(openssl rand -hex 32 for the three 32-byte secrets, openssl rand
-base64 24 for the Postgres password). Required vs optional are now
clearly grouped.

README Quick Start gives a realistic time estimate, generates the four
secrets in one block straight into .env, and points reverse-proxy
users at the docs site.

Pre-built GHCR images and a docs-vs-repo single-source-of-truth for
docker-compose are tracked separately in Phase 2 of the audit plan
(see docs/audit/2026-04-26-PLAN.md).
