fix: show the container hostname in the shell prompt

Coolify injects HOST=0.0.0.0 into every compose app, and zsh seeds $HOST and
the %m/%M prompt escapes from that variable rather than calling gethostname().
The prompt read "0", the first dot-separated field of 0.0.0.0, even though the
container hostname itself was set correctly.

Pass the hostname in as HOST alongside the hostname: key, both from a single
SERVICE_HOSTNAME variable. Neither service reads HOST itself -- code-server
binds [::]:8443, Paseo binds PASEO_LISTEN -- so this only affects the prompt.

Not named HOSTNAME: Compose interpolation lets the deploying shell's
environment win over the .env file, and HOSTNAME is set in every container,
including the one Coolify runs in.

PASEO_LABEL is renamed to SERVICE_HOSTNAME; it was never a Paseo variable.
The example git identity is blanked out along with it.

`SERVICE_HOSTNAME` is used twice: as the container's `hostname:` and as the
`HOST` variable inside it. Coolify injects `HOST=0.0.0.0` into every compose
app, and zsh seeds `$HOST` and the `%m`/`%M` prompt escapes from that variable
rather than calling `gethostname()` -- so the prompt reads `0`, the first
dot-separated field of `0.0.0.0`. Paseo itself never reads `HOST` -- it binds
`PASEO_LISTEN` -- so overriding it only affects the prompt. bash is
unaffected; its `\h` uses the real hostname.
It is not called `HOSTNAME`, the obvious name, because Compose interpolation
lets the deploying shell's environment win over the `.env` file, and `HOSTNAME`
is set in every container -- including the one Coolify itself runs in. The
container would silently take Coolify's hostname instead of this value.
`PASEO_LABEL` was this variable's old name. It was never a Paseo variable,
only ours -- the daemon reads none of `PASEO_LABEL`, `SERVICE_HOSTNAME` or
`HOST`, and takes the host label from the container hostname.
`PASEO_TRUSTED_PROXIES` matches the proxy's *source IP*, so hostnames are
rejected. The daemon trusts `X-Forwarded-Proto` from loopback only, but
Coolify's Traefik reaches it from the Docker bridge network — so it reads the
