Motivation

Replace the current flat flag/env-based Config struct with a YAML file (config.yaml), loaded via gopkg.in/yaml.v3. Structure config as one sub-tree per module, e.g.:

modules:
  webserver:
    enabled: true
    content_dir: ./content
  keyserver:
    enabled: true
    keys_dir: ./keys

Secrets (tokens, webhook secrets) stay out of the file itself — use ${ENV_VAR} placeholders resolved at load time, so the YAML file itself can be safely committed as a template/example.

Add a -config flag (default e.g. ./config.yaml) to point to the file location. Keep this independent from the module refactor (#1) but coordinate — modules should read their config from their own sub-tree, not a shared flat struct.
