feat: authenticate the server's Redis connection

InitRedis now takes a username and password, read from REDIS_USERNAME and
REDIS_PASSWORD, matching what admin has always done. Both empty keeps an
unauthenticated Redis working; a password with an empty username is what a
legacy requirepass instance needs, since go-redis then sends AUTH with one
argument instead of two.

This is what lets a Kubernetes install point at a managed Redis instead of
the bundled one.

`docsite` is the odd one: a **static** build served by `nginx:alpine-slim`, not a Node runtime, and it listens on `80` rather than `3000`. It is reached at **`vantage.hostxtra.co.uk/docs`** — a path on the marketing host, routed by its own Nginx Proxy Manager location, which must sort **above** the catch-all forwarding to `site:3003` or Next answers the 404. A path and not a subdomain because `*.vantage.hostxtra.co.uk` is the per-tenant instance namespace and `APP_ROOT_LABEL` would read a `docs.` label as a tenant slug. NPM forwards the **full** path upstream — it does not strip `/docs` — so `DOCS_BASE_URL`, the proxy location and the directory the image copies the build into (`/usr/share/nginx/html/docs`) must all agree. When they do not, the HTML loads and every asset 404s.
`LICENSE_SIGNING_KEY` appears in **exactly one service in exactly one compose file**: `admin` in `docker-compose.site.yml`. It must never be added to `server`, and the self-hosted `docker-compose.yml` must never mention `admin` or `adminsite` at all. Admin uses an external Redis via `REDIS_ADDR`/`REDIS_USERNAME`/`REDIS_PASSWORD`; the base compose hardcodes `redis:6379` for `server`, so those variables reach admin only.
