Fix Critical Security Issue: Remove weak default SECRET_KEY

Security improvements:
- selfhosted.py: Require SECRET_KEY environment variable (raises ValueError if not set)
- selfhosted.py: Validate SECRET_KEY length (minimum 50 characters)
- selfhosted.py: Warn if DEBUG=True in self-hosted mode
- development.py: Auto-generate random SECRET_KEY on each startup if not provided
- development.py: Remove production domain from ALLOWED_HOSTS
- development.py: Make CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS environment-only

This prevents weak/default SECRET_KEYs from being used in production.
