for people with iphones:
- clearer ios saving tutorial.
- added "save to files" ios shortcut.
- updated save to photos shortcut.
make sure to save both shortcuts and read the updated tutorial!
for people who host a cobalt instance:
- updated all environment variables TO_BE_LIKE_THIS. time to update your configs! for now cobalt is backwards compatible with old variable names, but it won't last forever.
- added a list of all environment variables and their descriptions to [run-an-instance doc](https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/main/docs/run-an-instance.md#list-of-all-environment-variables).
- updated [cookie file example](https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/main/docs/examples/cookies.example.json) with more services and improved examples.
- updated [docker compose example](https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/main/docs/examples/docker-compose.example.yml) with better explanations and up-to-date env variable samples.
