turns "true" / "false" strings from a process.env property into actual boolean values or undefined
envToBoolean used to turn "string booleans" into JS booleans
these are used in the codebase, but are not defined in the sample.ini
original idea of using config-sample.ini for default values is not backwards compatible unfortunately fallback values taken from config-sample.ini and directly from other code in this codebase, where these values were set
this is now handled in config.ts already
… consistency backwards compatibility ensured, by still checking the iniConfig for the old value first

Hi,
this PR is a continuation of @perfectra1n's PR #1031
It allows users to set the currently defined values via env variables (new!), config.ini (as before) or use fallback values (semi-new!).
The order is:
ENV > config.ini > fallback values
as @perfectra1n mentioned in the matrix Development channel, there still are a couple of env vars, scattered around, that are currently not part of this config file.
Let's split that out into a separate task though – this PR only concentrates on the ones that can be mapped to values in the config.ini file
Also some additional clean up will be necessary, e.g. in port.ts, but will split that out to separate task as well.
big thanks to @perfectra1n for letting me take over here!
edit:
once this PR is merged, TriliumNext/Docs#125 can be adjusted slightly and then merged as well
this also closes TriliumNext/Trilium#5186
