Consolidate custom_domain and tre_url settings into single tre_url setting

[Copilot]

This PR consolidates the confusing custom_domain and tre_url settings into a single tre_url setting as requested in issue #4248. Previously, users had to understand the difference between these two similar settings that served essentially the same purpose.

Changes Made

Configuration Simplification

• Removed custom_domain from config.sample.yaml and config_schema.json
• Enhanced tre_url to accept full custom URLs (e.g., https://mytre.example.com)
• Added clear documentation explaining that tre_url can be either auto-generated or custom

Backend Implementation

• Created extract_domain_from_url.sh helper function to programmatically extract domains from URLs
• Updated load_and_validate_env.sh to automatically derive CUSTOM_DOMAIN from TRE_URL for backward compatibility
• Modified AAD application scripts to remove --custom-domain parameter and auto-detect custom domains from TRE URL
• Enhanced redirect URI logic to intelligently handle both default and custom domains

Documentation Updates

• Updated environment variables documentation to mark CUSTOM_DOMAIN as deprecated
• Revised custom domain setup guide to use the new tre_url approach
• Updated CI/CD documentation references
• Provided clear migration path for existing users

Migration Path

Before:

tre:
  custom_domain: mytre.example.com

After:

tre:
  tre_url: https://mytre.example.com

Backward Compatibility

• Scripts depending on the CUSTOM_DOMAIN environment variable continue to work (automatically derived from TRE_URL)
• Existing deployments will continue to function without changes
• The letsencrypt.sh script works without modification

Testing

• Comprehensive domain extraction tests for various URL formats
• End-to-end validation of configuration changes
• Verified AAD script parameter handling
• Validated schema and sample file correctness

This change eliminates user confusion while maintaining full functionality and backward compatibility.

Fixes #4248.

@copilot please fix the build issue with Build Validation / Lint (pull_request)

Fixed yamllint violations in config.sample.yaml by wrapping long lines to comply with 80-character limit. The build lint check should now pass. Commit: d51066a

Fixed both shellcheck violations by replacing sed commands with bash parameter expansion and made the script executable. The lint check should now pass. Commit: b459ddc

Fixed the unused customDomain variable by removing the declaration since it's no longer needed after the refactoring to use tre_url. Commit: 647e657
