feat: add markdown support for privacy policy

Introduced markdown rendering for the privacy policy alongside plain text support. This change enriches the presentation of the privacy policy by allowing markdown-formatted files. To facilitate this, the markdown2 library was added as a dependency, and the logic in the privacy policy route was adjusted to prioritize `.md` files over `.txt` when available. This update also includes a minor version bump and the addition of a markdown-related entry to `.gitignore`. These changes enhance the flexibility and user experience by supporting more visually structured privacy policies.

The removal of the default privacy file path (`privacy.txt`) from the environment configuration encourages explicit file path specification, accommodating the new markdown feature more seamlessly.
