Subject: [PATCH] Keep the live mail host out of the repo

Replace the hard-coded mail.inbuxa.com with generic placeholders: the config
default and .env.example use mail.example.com, the README stops naming the QA
host, and docker-compose now requires STALWART_URL to be set rather than
defaulting to somebody's real server.

Nothing deployed depends on the old default - the running container passes
STALWART_URL explicitly.

+Verified against the mock server and, for the core mail flows, against a live Stalwart 1.0. Still pending live verification:
 
 - **HTML signatures** — Stalwart caps identity signatures at 2 KB. ihasmail compacts pasted HTML, moves images to Files and, if still too large, keeps the full signature in Files behind a short marker (other clients see a text fallback). The end-to-end flow (save → compose → send with inline logo) is implemented but not yet confirmed on the live server.
 - **Files** — the live server runs an older Stalwart build than `main`; `FileNode/query` there rejects `isTopLevel`/`parentId` filters, so ihasmail falls back to listing all nodes and building the tree client-side. Upload/rename/move/delete still need a live pass.
