docs: document TESSERA_ENCRYPTION_KEY in env templates

Browse Source 
Both example files pointed at the old CALENDAR_ENCRYPTION_KEY name, and
.env.example did not mention the key at all. Since compose now aborts
startup when it is unset, anyone setting up a fresh install from these
templates hit a failure the templates never explained.

Adds the current variable name, the generation command, and a note that
losing the value makes stored credentials unrecoverable.

# Encrypts stored credentials (LDAP bind password, calendar and mailbox logins).
# Required - the stack refuses to start without it.
# Generate one with: openssl rand -hex 32
# If this value is lost, every stored credential becomes unrecoverable.
# Belongs with every database backup, stored separately from it - a backup alone cannot restore credentials.
