docs(example.env): improve clarity of docker/example.env config for self-hosting (@nitin-is-me) (#6777)
### Description

Improved the `docker/example.env` file to make it more beginner-friendly
and easier to configure for self-hosters.

Changes made:
- Added section headers for clarity (e.g. Required Config, Firebase
Config, etc.)
- Clarified which settings are optional (Firebase, email, ports)
- Added better inline comments explaining each env variable
- Improved formatting and spacing for better readability

About

Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate a natural typing experience during a typing test by unobtrusively presenting the text prompts and displaying typed characters in place, providing straightforward, real-time feedback on typos, speed, and accuracy.

Features

  • minimalistic design, with optional advertisements and focus mode while typing
  • type what you see, see what you type
  • live errors, wpm, and accuracy displays
  • a variety of test lengths and languages
  • punctuation and numbers modes
  • quotes
  • themes
  • smooth caret
  • account system
  • challenges and just-for-fun test modifiers
  • and much more

Discord bot

On the Monkeytype Discord server, we added a Discord bot to auto-assign optional roles based on typing performance and challenge completion. You can find its code over at https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype-bot.
