Improve UX of join requests and fix minor bugs (#492)
All checks were successful
continuous-integration/drone/push Build is passing

## Description of the implemented changes
The changes were:
- [x] Bugfixing
- [x] New Feature
- [ ] Breaking Change
- [ ] Refactoring

This PR improves the join-request flow and presentation quality, fixes several data-display issues in join/join-request screens, and adds a usability improvement in global settings (directly opening the join link). It also includes dependency updates and changelog maintenance.

## What has been changed?
- Join form (`JoinLive`) now renders inputs based on actual field types (including checkbox/date/number/email behavior instead of generic text-only handling).
- Join form custom-field labels are resolved from configured custom fields (fallback remains safe if lookup fails).
- Join-request details page (`JoinRequestLive.Show`) now:
  - resolves and shows custom field names instead of raw IDs,
  - formats boolean-like values (`on/true/1`, `off/false/0`) as localized `Yes/No`,
  - formats ISO date strings for better readability,
  - keeps legacy field handling while improving output consistency.
- Join-request detail layout was improved semantically and visually (`dl/dt/dd` structure for label/value rows).
- Global settings page now includes an **Open** button for the join URL (`target="_blank"`, `rel="noopener noreferrer"`, ARIA label).
- Added/updated tests around:
  - join field type rendering,
  - custom field labels in join-request views,
  - related auth/global-settings behavior.
- Updated translations (`default.pot`, `en`, `de`) for new UI strings.
- Updated dependencies/tooling (`mix.lock`, `mix.exs`, CI/renovate-related updates).
- Updated `CHANGELOG.md` entries for unreleased changes.

## Definition of Done
### Code Quality
- [x] No new technical depths
- [x] Linting passed
- [x] Documentation is added were needed

### Accessibility
- [x] New elements are properly defined with html-tags
- [x] Colour contrast follows WCAG criteria
- [x] Aria labels are added when needed
- [x] Everything is accessible by keyboard
- [x] Tab-Order is comprehensible
- [x] All interactive elements have a visible focus

### Testing
- [x] Tests for new code are written
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] axe-core dev tools show no critical or major issues

## Additional Notes
- Reviewer focus areas:
  - `lib/mv_web/live/join_live.ex`: input type derivation and custom field lookup strategy (`authorize?: false` read path used intentionally for field metadata).
  - `lib/mv_web/live/join_request_live/show.ex`: value-formatting logic (especially backward compatibility for legacy `form_data` payloads).
  - `lib/mv_web/live/global_settings_live.ex`: external-link behavior and accessibility attributes.
- The branch also contains dependency update commits; please review lockfile and CI-related changes separately from functional join/join-request changes.

## [Unreleased]
### Changed
- **Join request display and settings workflow** Improved join request rendering and related settings behavior in one cohesive update:
- Join request fields now respect their configured field types in the details view.
- Custom field labels in join request views were standardized.
- Join request field formatting was corrected for more consistent output.
- Join link settings now include a direct "Open" action in addition to copy/share workflows.
### Fixed
- **Runtime ENV handling** Empty or invalid environment variables (e.g. `SMTP_PORT=`, `PORT=`, `POOL_SIZE=`, `DATABASE_PORT=`) no longer cause `ArgumentError` at boot. Instead raises clear errors for required vars set but empty (e.g. DATABASE_HOST, PHX_HOST/DOMAIN, SECRET_KEY_BASE).
- **PostgreSQL 18 Docker volume path** Corrected the database volume path to match PostgreSQL 18 expectations.
### Dependency updates
- Mix dependencies were updated.
- Renovate Docker image was updated to `v43.165`.
- Rauthy Docker image was updated to `v0.35.1`.
- `just` was updated to `v1.50.0`.
