Fail loudly on set-but-unparseable env config values (closes #80) (#92)
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested

Defaults now apply only to unset or empty environment variables; a set-but-
unparseable value aborts startup with an error naming the key and the value.
envInt is gone, envBool parses with strconv.ParseBool, and PORT is bounded.

#### Invalid values abort startup
The defaults above apply **only** to variables that are unset (or set
to an empty string). A variable that is set but cannot be parsed is a
fatal configuration error: webhooker logs the offending variable and
its value and refuses to start, rather than silently running with a
substituted default. `PORT=eighty`, `DEBUG=ture`, and
`RETENTION_SWEEP_INTERVAL=1 hour` all abort startup. `PORT` must
additionally be a number in the range 1–65535.
Boolean variables (`DEBUG`, `MAINTENANCE_MODE`) accept exactly the
spellings Go's `strconv.ParseBool` accepts — `1`, `t`, `T`, `TRUE`,
`true`, `True`, `0`, `f`, `F`, `FALSE`, `false`, `False` — and nothing
else. `yes`, `on`, and `off` are rejected rather than quietly treated
as false.
On first startup, webhooker automatically generates a cryptographically
secure session encryption key and stores it in the database. This key
persists across restarts — no manual key management is needed.
