docs: Add pgadmin4 to docker-compose.yml (#9556)
* docs: Add pgadmin4 to docker-compose.yml

Motivation
----------
The current documentation encourages to install pgAdmin3 on the host
system. It's much simpler to add `pgAdmin4` to the `docker-compose.yml`:

1. No configuration needs to be modified, just added.
2. Better security because no additional ports need to be opened on the host.
3. Easier installation. E.g. on Archlinux there is no package pgAdmin3
   anymore.
4. `pgAdmin3` does not seem to be maintained.

How to test
-----------
1. Follow the documentation.
2. See if you can connect to the immich database

* docs: better use separate config file

I assume most users will not edit the `docker-compose.yml` and forget
about `pgAdmin` once they're done. So, `pgAdmin` might get exposed to
the internet with default credentials, which is not good.

Better to leave a hint to change the credentials and keep the
configuration separate, so users start `pgAdmin` knowingly and turn it
off once they're done.

# Database GUI
A short guide on connecting [pgAdmin](https://www.pgadmin.org/) to Immich.
## 1. Install pgAdmin
Add a file `docker-compose-pgadmin.yml` next to your `docker-compose.yml` with the following content:
```
name: immich
services:
pgadmin:
image: dpage/pgadmin4
container_name: pgadmin4_container
restart: always
ports:
- "8888:80"
environment:
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: user-name@domain-name.com
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: strong-password
volumes:
- pgadmin-data:/var/lib/pgadmin
volumes:
pgadmin-data:
```
Change the values of `PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL` and `PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD` in this file.
Run `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-pgadmin.yml up` to start immich along with `pgAdmin`.
## 2. Add a Server
Open [localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888) and login with the default credentials from above.
Right click on `Servers` and click on `Register >> Server..` then enter the values below in the `Connection` tab.

:::note
The parameters used here match those specified in the example `.env` file. If you have changed your `.env` file, you'll need to adjust accordingly.
