fix(security): remove hardcoded encryption keys from docker compose files

Replace hardcoded CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY with environment variable
substitution using Docker Compose required variable syntax.

docker-compose.playwright.yml: use ${CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY:?...}
docker-compose.e2e.yml: use ${CHARON_ENCRYPTION_KEY:?...}
e2e-tests.yml: add ephemeral key generation per CI run
.env.test.example: document the requirement prominently
Security: The old key exists in git history and must never be used
in production. Each CI run now generates a unique ephemeral key.
