* backend:
- add /api/settings endpoint for misc system-wide settings
- setting 'registrationEnabled' if open registration should be enabled, set via REGISTRATION_ENABLED=1 env var
- setting 'jwtTokenLifetimeMinutes' returns the jwt token expiry in seconds, configured in minutes via JWT_TOKEN_LIFETIME_MINUTES env var (default: 60)
