Add docker-compose.yml for deploying upaas (closes #223)

The compose file builds the image from this repo, mounts the Docker
socket and HOST_DATA_DIR (passed to upaas as UPAAS_HOST_DATA_DIR),
reads settings from .env, and restarts unless stopped. The port is
published on 127.0.0.1 only, for a TLS-terminating proxy in front, and
UPAAS_PLAINTEXT_HTTP is left unset. A healthcheck against /health uses
the runtime image's busybox wget.

The README's plain-HTTP Compose example becomes a short deploy section
that points at the file. .env is added to .dockerignore so settings are
not copied into the build.

 # Completed Steps

-- 2026-09-29: The README Configuration table now lists every setting upaas

-  `UPAAS_SENTRY_DSN` is not used (#229).
