jekkos 00b97c3302 feat(security): add THROTTLE_KEY env-var fallback for throttle.key (#4707)
checkThrottleEncryption() now consults the THROTTLE_KEY environment
variable when throttle.key is empty, mirroring the ENCRYPTION_KEY
fallback in Config/Encryption. This lets Docker/Compose deployments
supply the throttle HMAC secret without writing a shared value into a
read-only .env. An explicit throttle.key always takes precedence.

Adds regression tests to the existing security_helperTest suite and
documents THROTTLE_KEY in .env.example.
