Add backend setup guide and .env usage instructions #59

@lawie1425

Description

@lawie1425

Problem: backend/README.md (or backend docs) lacks explicit steps for creating a virtual environment, installing dependencies, running migrations, and configuring environment variables from env.example.

Proposed improvement: Expand backend/README.md to include venv creation, installing requirements.txt, applying migrations, running the dev server, and a short example of copying env.example to .env with key explanations.

Expected benefit: Simplifies local backend setup and reduces configuration errors for contributors.

Files to change: backend/README.md, env.example (add comments)

Suggested labels: docs, help wanted
