Isolate internal bot-config route from the public listener (#33)

The GET /internal/bot-config route returns the DECRYPTED Discord bot
token and was mounted on the same Express app / port 3000 that Pangolin
proxies publicly. Its only guard was the BOT_INTERNAL_KEY shared secret,
and .env.example shipped a placeholder default — so a forwarded path or a
weak/unrotated key would expose the plaintext token to the internet.

Move server<->bot internal traffic onto its own listener and fail fast on
a weak key:

- Add server/src/internalApp.js: a standalone Express app mounting
  requireInternalKey + /internal (and a no-secret /health), mirroring the
  bot's unpublished port-4100 pattern.
- server.js starts a second listener on INTERNAL_PORT (default 3001),
  closed on graceful shutdown.
- Remove the /internal mount from the public v1.router; the public app now
  404s /api/v1/internal/bot-config even with a valid key.
- Fail fast: new utils/botInternalKey.js rejects an empty, placeholder, or
  <16-char BOT_INTERNAL_KEY — fatal in production (exit 1), warning in dev.
- docker-compose: bot SITE_INTERNAL_URL -> app:3001/internal/bot-config;
  document that INTERNAL_PORT stays unpublished.
- .env.example (root/server/bot): document INTERNAL_PORT, the fail-fast
  behavior, and a defense-in-depth Pangolin deny rule for /api/v1/internal.

Tests: add requireInternalKey.test.js and botInternalKey.test.js
(node --test: 93 pass).
