Merge main into the admin PIN branch

Both sides added to the same two places — the environment-variable list in
server.js and the settings table in the README — because the forge work and
the PIN work each documented a new setting. Everything from both is kept.

@@ -111,8 +112,21 @@ Only `/admin` and the admin API are behind the PIN. Dashboards stay open, so a
wall display needs no PIN, and it is unrelated to a module's own PIN (Slack's
4–8 digit send PIN, say), which guards that module's actions only.
**Updating from your own git server.** ProdDash fetches one `tar.gz` of the
branch — nothing else — so any Gitea or Forgejo works. Point `forge` at its
base URL and `repo` at the owner/repo there:
```json
{ "forge": "http://10.3.8.90:3000", "repo": "michael/ProdDash", "branch": "main" }
```
Gitea spells an archive URL differently from GitHub, which is the only thing
that changes; the tarball itself is identical, commit hash included, so update
detection and module installs behave exactly as before. Make the repository
readable without signing in, or ProdDash cannot fetch it.
Environment variables override both files: `PORT`, `PRODDASH_PASSCODE`, and
`PRODDASH_DATA_DIR` to put the data directory somewhere else (a relative path
`PRODDASH_FORGE`, and `PRODDASH_DATA_DIR` to put the data directory somewhere else (a relative path
is taken from the app folder; `PRODDASH_DATA_DIR=config` restores the old
in-repo location). If the default directory can't be created, the server says
so and falls back to the app's `config/` folder.
