chore(deploy): seed a minimal .env — stop pre-seeding maskable vars (#70)

The bitspire-env activation seeds .env only when ABSENT (never refreshes on
redeploy), and env WINS over the pairing seed — so any value written at first
boot is frozen for the disk's life and silently masks the seed's source. That's
how a dead relay.aiolabs.dev and a provisioned VITE_OPERATOR_PUBKEYS made stale
installs "work" while a fresh machine broke.

Seed ONLY image-baked, non-maskable values (model, fiat, ELECTRON_FORCE_PROD,
DISPLAY, empty VITE_SPIRE_SEED placeholder). Relay + server pubkey come from the
seed; operator pubkey + fee config come from LNbits over the transport — so those
keys are no longer pre-seeded at all. VITE_RELAY_URL / VITE_LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY
are emitted only when the operator deliberately pins them via the Nix options (an
explicit override). Also drops the inert RELAY_URL/LNBITS_SERVER_PUBKEY lines from
/etc/bitspire/config.env (never loaded — EnvironmentFile is forced to .env).

Verified: built sintra-installed .env template is 5 lines, 0 maskable vars.
