Bind the app port deliberately and document the proxy deployment (closes #268)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 3m1s

The plaintext listener bound `:PORT`, so it answered on every
interface with no way to say otherwise. That published the admin UI
and the unauthenticated receiver in cleartext beside whatever TLS
proxy was in front of them, reachable from any host that could route
to the machine.

BIND_ADDRESS now selects the address, defaulting to 127.0.0.1.
Loopback is the only default that does not silently expose that
listener; reaching webhooker from another host becomes a deliberate
act. A container must set BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0, since a loopback bind
inside a network namespace is unreachable even with -p, and the
documented `docker run` does. Only IP address literals are accepted:
hostnames, host:port and CIDR blocks abort startup naming the variable
and the value, and a literal that is not an address of this host fails
at listen and exits non-zero.

The http.Server is now built in New rather than in the serving
goroutine. Two goroutines reached that field with nothing ordering
them — the serving goroutine assigning it, the fx stop hook calling
Shutdown on it — which is a data race the race detector reports as
soon as anything starts and stops the server, and a nil dereference if
a stop arrived first.

README gains a "Deployment behind a reverse proxy" section: a working
nginx server block, and the five things that are silent when wrong —
bind or firewall the app port, WEBHOOKER_ENVIRONMENT=prod,
TRUSTED_PROXIES, Host as $http_host rather than $host, and keeping the
proxy's access log because webhooker's own records only the proxy.
