Fix API endpoint configuration with environment-aware URLs

- Add environment-based API URL configuration (dev: localhost:8000, prod: api.pennyzo.com)
- Update PennyzoApiService to use centralized config with timeout settings
- Fix API status checker scripts to load .env variables using dotenv
- Add environment management scripts (set-env.ps1) with npm shortcuts
- Create comprehensive configuration testing and validation tools
- Add TypeScript definitions for Vite environment variables
- Update all documentation with new environment configuration instructions
- Install dotenv package for Node.js environment variable loading
- All APIs now correctly use environment-appropriate URLs automatically
