fix: standardize database env vars on TURNSTONE_DB_* naming (#348)

* fix: standardize database env vars on TURNSTONE_DB_* naming

compose.yaml used DB_BACKEND/DATABASE_URL in .env which got mapped to
TURNSTONE_DB_BACKEND/TURNSTONE_DB_URL inside containers. Running bare-
metal required the TURNSTONE_ prefix, but docs didn't explain this.
Eliminate the indirection — use TURNSTONE_DB_BACKEND and TURNSTONE_DB_URL
everywhere (compose, .env, bare-metal, docs, bootstrap wizard).

* fix: update .env.example to use TURNSTONE_DB_* naming

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `TURNSTONE_DB_BACKEND` | `sqlite` | Storage backend: `sqlite` or `postgresql` |
| `TURNSTONE_DB_URL` | — | Database URL (e.g. `postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/turnstone`). For SQLite, defaults to `/data/.turnstone.db` |
| `TURNSTONE_DB_URL` | — | Database URL (e.g. `postgresql+psycopg://user:pass@postgres:5432/turnstone`). For SQLite, defaults to `/data/.turnstone.db` |
| `TURNSTONE_DB_POOL_SIZE` | `2` | PostgreSQL connection pool size per process (default: 2 base + 3 overflow = 5 max) |
| `POSTGRES_USER` | `turnstone` | PostgreSQL container username (used in default `TURNSTONE_DB_URL` for cluster/channel) |
| `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` | — | PostgreSQL container password (required for production and cluster profiles) |
The database stores workstream history, user accounts, and API tokens. When using JWT auth, a database backend is required for user storage.
> **Upgrading from <1.3.0a4:** Earlier versions used `DB_BACKEND` and `DATABASE_URL` in `.env`, which `compose.yaml` mapped to the `TURNSTONE_`-prefixed names internally. These short aliases have been removed. Rename `DB_BACKEND` → `TURNSTONE_DB_BACKEND` and `DATABASE_URL` → `TURNSTONE_DB_URL` in your `.env` file.
> **Large clusters:** Each turnstone process maintains a small connection pool (5 max). At hundreds of nodes this adds up — use [PgBouncer](pgbouncer.md) in transaction pooling mode between turnstone and PostgreSQL.
> **First-time setup:** After deploying with auth enabled, create an initial admin user by running `turnstone-admin create-user` inside the container:
