chore: add DISABLE_FILESYSTEM_ENCRYPTION option

- Enhanced comments in docker-compose files to clarify the purpose of environment variables, including optional settings for UID, GID, and filesystem encryption.
- Introduced DISABLE_FILESYSTEM_ENCRYPTION variable to allow users to disable file encryption, making the ENCRYPTION_KEY optional.
- Updated documentation in quick-start guide to reflect changes in environment variable usage and security warnings.

When set to `true`, the `ENCRYPTION_KEY` becomes optional. **Important**: Once set, this configuration is permanent for your deployment. Switching between encrypted and unencrypted modes will break file access for existing uploads. Choose your strategy before uploading files.
