upaas: health check, settings checked at start, README section (closes #59)
check / check (push) Successful in 15s

The image's HEALTHCHECK requests /.well-known/healthcheck through
nginx on the port from PORT, so it fails unless both processes answer.
The backend reads PORT and DEBUG with strconv instead of viper, which
turned a bad PORT into 0 and a bad DEBUG into false. Those, and a
BIND_ADDRESS that is not an IP address, now stop the start with an
error naming the variable; the TRUSTED_PROXIES error names it too.
bin/entrypoint.sh also refuses a container PORT outside 1 to 65535,
or 8081, where the backend listens, naming PORT. README.md gains
"Running under upaas". Its first-run steps create the host directory
owned by uid 1000, so the image changes no ownership.

- Writes buffered reports to disk on `docker stop`, and exits non-zero if nginx
or the backend exits on its own, so the platform restarts it
## Running under upaas
What the [upaas](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/upaas) app for netwatch needs:
- **Port:** container port `8080`.
- **Volume:** container path `/data`; the reports are kept in `/data/reports`.
- **First run:** upaas bind-mounts the host directory it is given and does not
create it, and the backend, which runs as uid 1000, does not start unless it
can write there. Create the directory, owned by uid 1000, before the first
deploy:
```bash
mkdir -p /path/to/data
chown 1000:1000 /path/to/data
```
- **Environment variables:** none is required. An empty one counts as unset, and
one set to a value netwatch cannot use stops the container at start, with the
reason in its log.
- `PORT`, default `8080`: the container port, from 1 to 65535. `8081` cannot
be used: the backend listens on it inside the container
- `REPORTS_PER_MINUTE`, default `60`: reports each client address may send a
minute
- `DATA_DIR_MAX_BYTES`, default `1073741824` (1 GiB): the most room the
report files may take
- `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`, default empty: other origins whose pages may call
the API
- `DEBUG`, default `false`: debug logging
- `DATA_DIR`, default `/data/reports`: leave unset; reports kept outside
`/data` do not survive a redeploy
- `TRUSTED_PROXIES`, default loopback and RFC1918: leave unset. The
backend's only client is nginx, on loopback, which passes on the client
address; nginx takes it from `X-Forwarded-For` only from RFC1918
addresses.
- **Health check:** the image's `HEALTHCHECK` requests
`/.well-known/healthcheck` through nginx every 30 seconds, so it fails unless
both nginx and the backend answer. upaas reads the container's health 60
seconds after a deploy and fails the deploy unless it is `healthy`. The
container also stops when either process exits.
