docs: update password generation to use hex encoding

Change openssl rand commands from base64 to hex encoding to avoid
special characters that break URL parsing in database connection strings.

- JWT_SECRET: openssl rand -hex 32
- DBPASS: openssl rand -hex 16

- .env.example
- README.md
- docs/contributing/DEVELOPMENT.md
