This PR resolves a critical security vulnerability regarding the exposure of deployment credentials and key materials in the `node-deploy` repository.
**Vulnerabilities & Anti-Patterns Remediated:**
* **Secrets & Configuration / Tracked deployment credentials and key material:** Previously, a plaintext deployment environment file (`.env`), plaintext keystore passwords (`keys/password.txt`), validator/BLS keystores, and node identity files were tracked by Git and were not excluded by the repository’s ignore rules.
**Fix:**
* The `.gitignore` file has been updated to explicitly ignore `.env`, `keys/`, and `*.keystore.json` patterns.
* These sensitive files have been removed from the Git index (while preserving local working copies for the existing developer workflow).
* A safe `.env.example` template has been introduced.
* The `README.md` setup documentation now correctly instructs operators to establish an explicit copy-from-template flow (`cp .env.example .env`) into the ignored local file.
*(Note: Previously exposed credentials and keys in historical commits must still be rotated by node operators, as removing files from the current tree does not erase Git history.)*
Add example environment configuration for local BSC cluster.
Add .env and keys to .gitignore for local deployment.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 100: Update the README sentence describing the Makefile orchestration to
say “3-phase” instead of “2-phase,” matching the preparation, Docker Compose
startup, and validator registration workflow documented elsewhere.
- Line 43: Add an explicit setup instruction before the deployment configuration
steps in the README to rotate any previously exposed deployment credentials and
key material. Keep the existing guidance about using the ignored .env file, but
make clear that copying .env.example does not replace credential rotation.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 37-40: Update the “Configure the cluster” list item in the README
to use the configured 1. list prefix instead of 4., and insert a blank line
between the item text and its fenced bash block.
- Line 21: Replace the Markdown link syntax in the git clone command with the
plain repository URL so the command is directly copy-pastable in a shell.
