Prod: public origin gupi.glitch.university, internal services over HTTP

CORS_ORIGIN defaults to https://gupi.${DOMAIN} (the TLS frontend served by the
proxy); the app still reaches Postgres/MinIO by their docker hostnames over
plain HTTP on the shared network. Clarify the split in .env.prod.example and
fix the deploy success URL.
