Update in-page sample .env contents and clarify process (#2252)

* Update .env example and clarify process

Update .env contents, and add a little clarification about commands being run. On Windows, for example, you might not have wget, but you'd need to be in the directory with the docker-compose.yml and .env files to run the docker-compose up -d command successfully. (Took me a while to figure out at first)

* Fix some formatting/wording

* Put log level back in and add typesense settings to address PR comments

### Step 1 - Download the required files
Download [`docker-compose.yml`][compose-file] [`example.env`][env-file].
Create a directory of your choice (e.g. `./immich-app`) to hold the `docker-compose.yml` and `.env` files.
From a directory of your choice (e.g. `./immich-app`) run the following commands:
```bash title="Move to the directory you created"
mkdir ./immich-app
cd ./immich-app
```
Download [`docker-compose.yml`][compose-file] and [`example.env`][env-file], either by running the following commands:
```bash title="Get docker-compose.yml file"

or by downloading from your browser and moving the files to the directory that you created.
Note: If you downloaded the files from your browser, also ensure that you rename `example.env` to `.env`.
### Step 2 - Populate the .env file with custom values

- Populate custom database information if necessary.
- Populate `UPLOAD_LOCATION` with your preferred location for storing backup assets.
- Consider changing `DB_PASSWORD` to something randomly generated
- Consider changing `TYPESENSE_API_KEY` to something randomly generated
### Step 3 - Start the containers
From the directory you created in Step 1, (which should now contain your customized `docker-compose.yml` and `.env` files) run `docker-compose up -d`.
```bash title="Start the containers using docker compose command"
docker-compose up -d # or `docker compose up -d` based on your docker-compose version
docker-compose up -d # or `docker compose up -d` based on your docker-compose version
```
