Genericize personal references; add Docker Compose deployment

[imonroe]

Summary

Two related changes to make the project easy for any user to self-host:

1. Remove personal references

• Replaced the hardcoded user identity (ian / ian_memories) everywhere it appeared — docs, examples, smoke scripts, and code defaults — with generic, configurable values.
• Code defaults now: MEM0_COLLECTION defaults to memories; the example MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID is default-user.
• The OAuth JWT sub and the static-token client_id now derive from MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID instead of a hardcoded name (previously they were the literal "ian"). Tests updated accordingly.
• PRD Owner and "Ian's machines" wording genericized; example memory content rewritten.

2. New Docker Compose deployment method

• Added docker-compose.yml that brings up Qdrant + the app together in one stack for users who don't run CapRover. It overrides QDRANT_HOST/QDRANT_PORT/QDRANT_HTTPS to the in-stack Qdrant service and pulls secrets from .env.
• New User Guide sections: "Choosing a deployment method" and "Deploying with Docker Compose". README and Developer Guide updated. CapRover docs are retained as the second method.

Test plan

• ruff check app/ — clean
• pytest -q — 73 passed
• docker compose config validates (with env present)
• Smoke test docker compose up -d against real Anthropic/OpenAI keys

Pull request overview

This PR removes hardcoded personal identifiers from defaults/docs/tests and adds a Docker Compose-based deployment option so the service can be self-hosted without CapRover.

Changes:

• Replaced hardcoded user/collection references with configurable defaults (MEM0_COLLECTION=memories, MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID=default-user) across code, tests, scripts, and docs.
• Updated auth/OAuth token issuance so JWT sub and static-token client_id derive from MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID.
• Added docker-compose.yml plus documentation updates describing Docker Compose as an additional supported deployment method.

README.md:11

• The README still states the server "uses an existing external Qdrant instance" and "deploys to CapRover" as if those are required. With the new Docker Compose deployment (bundled Qdrant + app), this description is now inaccurate and may confuse new users. Update this sentence to describe both supported deployment modes (CapRover/external Qdrant vs Docker Compose/bundled Qdrant) or reword it to avoid implying external Qdrant/CapRover are mandatory.

It uses an existing external **Qdrant** instance as the vector backend, deploys to **CapRover**
on push to `main`, and ships a companion `mem0-backup` app that snapshots Qdrant to S3 nightly.
This is a **single-user** system: `MEM0_DEFAULT_USER_ID` is the only user.
