Subject: [PATCH] chore: update docker-compose and documentation for PostgreSQL
 configuration

- Added NEXT_FRONTEND_URL environment variable to docker-compose.yml for frontend integration.
- Updated hero-section.tsx to change the "Get Started" button link from "/login" to "/register".
- Enhanced electric-sql documentation with detailed instructions for locating and editing the postgresql.conf file.
