feat: Add automatic environment variable replacement in deployment script

- Add replace_env_vars() function to automatically scan and replace  patterns
- Function checks all config files (.yml, .yaml, .conf, .json) for variables
- Replaces variables found in .env file with their values
- Warns about variables referenced in templates but missing from .env
- Applied to both core deployment and stack setup for Dockge
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing hardcoded replacements
- Makes deployment script maintenance-free for new services
