feat(ci): implement automated CI/CD deployment pipelines via GitHub webhooks (#64)

**Description:**
This PR introduces a fully automated CI/CD pipeline natively into Domain
Forge, allowing subdomains tied to GitHub repositories to be seamlessly
torn down and rebuilt whenever new code is pushed.

This completes the closed-loop redeployment workflow, removing the need
for manual teardowns when deploying updates.

**Key Changes:**
- **Automated Webhook Registration**: Added logic to effortlessly
auto-register a push webhook on the user's GitHub repository via OAuth
whenever the "Enable CI/CD" toggle is active on the deployment
dashboard.
- **Webhook Listener**: Registered a `/webhook/github` endpoint that
securely parses incoming push payloads, filters for `main`/`master`
branches, and triggers the deployment script cluster.
- **Robust URL Matching Strategy**: Fixed critical bugs where webhook
matches failed due to `.git` extensions and trailing slashes. All
repository URLs are now dynamically parsed and stripped natively via
regex in MongoDB searches.
- **Crash Prevention**: Shielded the Deno execution engine from fatal
TypeErrors when compiling configurations for redeployments by ensuring
undefined GUI variables (`.env`, empty configurations) safely fallback
to empty strings.
- **Conflict Immunization**: Hardened `container.sh` to forcefully
eliminate ghost containers. This prevents immediate `502 Bad Gateway`
errors caused by rapid-fire API requests or Docker port collision
edge-cases.

**Testing:**
- Verified frontend dynamically syncs the `enable_ci` state backwards to
the database.
- Confirmed GitHub accurately delivers push payloads resulting in fully
autonomous container updates.
- Tested and handled aggressive UI requests to ensure zero Docker race
conditions.
