fix: bundle categories into Docker image for Coolify deployment

Coolify remaps volume mounts to its own managed directories, so
./categories was mapped to an empty dir instead of the repo data.

Changes:
- Backend build context changed to repo root (.) so categories/ is accessible
- Dockerfile copies categories into /data/initial-categories/
- startup.sh seeds /data/categories from bundled data if empty
- Removed categories volume mount (reports still persisted via volume)
- Added root .dockerignore (categories NOT excluded)
- Updated CI workflow to match new build context
