feat(logging): wire LOG_DIR through env and align systemd helper

- logger uses config/env for LOG_DIR and LOG_LEVEL (single source of truth)
- Document absolute LOG_DIR for wipe/redeploy (Jenkins) in env and .env.example
- setup-kord-user-log-file.sh reads LOG_DIR from KORD_HOME/.env and syncs
  StandardOutput/StandardError/ExecStartPre mkdir to the same path

Made-with: Cursor
