Removed the API route in favour of server side rendering; Updated documentation to list environment variables (#9)

- Use server side rendering in the `getServerEnv` library function, rather than using the API route
- Updated `README.md` to list the relevant environment variables for the frontend and backend
- Updated `NETWORKING.md` to reflect the changes made in `docker-compose.yaml`
