Subject: [PATCH] Update Anytype to use external MongoDB and Redis Stack

Switches Anytype deployment to use external MongoDB and Redis Stack instead of embedded databases. Updates default resources to 4GB RAM, 16GB disk, Ubuntu 24.04, and configures MongoDB replica set and Redis Stack installation. Adjusts service dependencies and environment variables accordingly.
