Subject: [PATCH] feat(anis): auto-provision ANIS Community Edition on fresh
 installs (Phase 4)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Changed the ANIS_URL default from the docker-internal
"http://argus-anis:8090" to the public Community Edition hub
(https://anis.weboria.eu). That internal default was dead on arrival for
every real deployment path: neither docker/docker-compose.yml nor
distribution/docker-compose.yml bundles its own ANIS container (confirmed
via grep — only the dev-only docker-compose.local-sandbox.yml does, and
it already sets ANIS_URL explicitly, so it's unaffected by this change),
so a fresh install using either client-facing compose file previously got
ANIS_ENABLED=false and an empty/unreachable ANIS_URL with no working
threat intelligence out of the box.

An empty license key already grants the "community" tier server-side
(confirmed against ANIS's own RegisterInstance handler in a prior
grounding pass) — no signup or key needed, so defaulting
enabled=true/url=<public hub>/key=empty is a genuine zero-friction
default, not a placeholder pointing at something that doesn't work.
ANIS_ENABLED flipped from :-false to :-true in both compose files'
inline fallback (not just the .env.example docs) since a compose-level
explicit "false" string takes precedence over the Go binary's own
compiled default and previously masked it.

Updated distribution/.env.example and configs/env.example to match.

Live-verified against a genuinely fresh sandbox install (temporarily
unset the sandbox compose's own ANIS_URL override to actually exercise
the new default, reverted before committing — confirmed clean via `git
diff`): anis_settings bootstrapped to
enabled=true/url=https://anis.weboria.eu/license_key=''/bootstrapped=true
on first boot. Re-verified the sandbox's own explicit local override
(http://anis:8090, for its bundled ANIS container) still wins unaffected
after reverting.
