fix: resolve Caddy env vars at write time to prevent parse errors

acme_ca and the pic_ngo DNS credentials ({$PIC_NGO_DDNS_TOKEN},
{$PIC_NGO_DDNS_API}) were written as Caddy env-var placeholders, but the
Caddy container does not inherit the API container's environment, so the
substitutions always failed — Caddy saw bare directive names with no
arguments and rejected the Caddyfile.

- _global_acme_block: only emit the acme_ca directive when ACME_CA_URL is
  actually set; omitting it makes Caddy default to Let's Encrypt production.
- _caddyfile_pic_ngo: embed the DDNS_TOTP_SECRET and DDNS_URL values directly
  into the Caddyfile at write time rather than relying on Caddy env expansion.
