feat: add PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION configuration option

- Introduced the PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION environment variable across multiple configuration files to allow users to customize the expiration time for presigned URLs.
- Updated documentation to include details on the new variable, its default value, and guidance on choosing appropriate expiration times based on security and usability needs.
- Refactored relevant code to utilize the new configuration option for generating presigned URLs in the file and reverse share services.

## Common Configuration Options
### Presigned URL Expiration
Palmr. uses temporary URLs (presigned URLs) for secure file access. These URLs expire after a configurable time period to enhance security.
**Default:** 1 hour (3600 seconds)
You can customize this for all storage types (filesystem or S3) by adding:
```yaml
environment:
- PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=7200 # 2 hours
```
**When to adjust:**
- **Shorter time (1800 = 30 min):** Higher security, but users may need to refresh download links
- **Longer time (7200-21600 = 2-6 hours):** Better for large file transfers, but URLs stay valid longer
- **Default (3600 = 1 hour):** Good balance for most use cases
### File Encryption
For filesystem storage, you can enable file encryption:
```yaml
environment:
- DISABLE_FILESYSTEM_ENCRYPTION=false
- ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-secure-32-character-key-here
```
**Note:** S3 storage handles encryption through your S3 provider's encryption features.

## Presigned URL configuration
Palmr. uses presigned URLs to provide secure, temporary access to files stored in **both S3-compatible storage and filesystem storage**. These URLs have a configurable expiration time to balance security and usability.
> **Note:** This configuration applies to **all storage types** (S3, filesystem, etc.), not just S3-compatible storage.
### Understanding presigned URLs
Presigned URLs are temporary URLs that allow direct access to files without exposing storage credentials or requiring authentication. They automatically expire after a specified time period, enhancing security by limiting access duration.
**How it works:**
- **S3 Storage:** URLs are signed by AWS/S3-compatible provider credentials
- **Filesystem Storage:** URLs use temporary tokens that are validated by Palmr server
**Default behavior:**
- Upload URLs: 1 hour (3600 seconds)
- Download URLs: 1 hour (3600 seconds)
### Configuring expiration time
You can customize the expiration time using the `PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION` environment variable:
```bash
# Set URLs to expire after 2 hours (7200 seconds)
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=7200
# Set URLs to expire after 30 minutes (1800 seconds)
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=1800
# Set URLs to expire after 6 hours (21600 seconds)
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=21600
```
### Choosing the right expiration time
**Shorter expiration (15-30 minutes):**
- [+] Higher security
- [+] Reduced risk of unauthorized access
- [-] May interrupt long uploads/downloads
- [-] Users may need to refresh links more often
**Longer expiration (2-6 hours):**
- [+] Better user experience for large files
- [+] Fewer interruptions during transfers
- [-] Longer exposure window if URLs are compromised
- [-] Potential for increased storage costs if users leave downloads incomplete
**Recommended settings:**
- **High security environments:** 1800 seconds (30 minutes)
- **Standard usage:** 3600 seconds (1 hour) - default
- **Large file transfers:** 7200-21600 seconds (2-6 hours)
### Example configurations
**For Backblaze B2 with extended expiration:**
```bash
ENABLE_S3=true
S3_ENDPOINT=s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com
S3_USE_SSL=true
S3_ACCESS_KEY=your-key-id
S3_SECRET_KEY=your-application-key
S3_REGION=us-west-002
S3_BUCKET_NAME=your-bucket-name
S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=false
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=7200 # 2 hours for large file transfers
```
**For high-security environments:**
```bash
ENABLE_S3=true
S3_ENDPOINT=s3.amazonaws.com
S3_USE_SSL=true
S3_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key-id
S3_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-access-key
S3_REGION=us-east-1
S3_BUCKET_NAME=your-bucket-name
S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=false
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRATION=1800 # 30 minutes for enhanced security
```
