Remove PDF export
As we already decleared in earlier versions, this patch removes PDF
export entirely. It's a not acceptable security risk for every CodiMD
instance.

The current implementation allowed to extract arbitary files from the
CodiMD host and therefore leaking secrets from a `/etc/passwd` to
CodiMD's own config files and all secrets contained in it.

Thanks to Joona for finding this vulnerability in August last year,
which lead to an emergency disabling of PDF exports in 1.5.0.

Configuration Using Environment variables
===
You can choose to configure CodiMD with either a
[config file](configuration-config-file.md) or with environment variables.
Environment variables are processed in
[`lib/config/environment.js`](../lib/config/environment.js) - so this is the first
place to look if anything is missing not obvious from this document. The
default values are defined in [`lib/config/default.js`](../lib/config/default.js),
in case you wonder if you even need to override it.
Environment variables take precedence over configurations from the config files.
They generally start with `CMD_` for our own options, but we also list
node-specific options you can configure this way.
## Node.JS
| variable | example value | description |
| -------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| `NODE_ENV` | `production` or `development` | set current environment (will apply corresponding settings in the `config.json`) |
| `DEBUG` | `true` or `false` | set debug mode; show more logs |
## CodiMD basics
defaultNotePath can't be set from env-vars
| variable | example value | description |
| -------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| `CMD_CONFIG_FILE` | `/path/to/config.json` | optional override for the path to CodiMD's config file |
| `CMD_DB_URL` | `mysql://localhost:3306/database` | Set the db in URL style. If set, then the relevant `db` config entries will be overridden. |
| `CMD_LOGLEVEL` | `info`, `debug` ... | Defines what kind of logs are provided to stdout. |
| `CMD_FORBIDDEN_NOTE_IDS` | `'robots.txt'` | disallow creation of notes, even if `CMD_ALLOW_FREEURL` is `true` |
| `CMD_IMAGE_UPLOAD_TYPE` | `imgur`, `s3`, `minio`, `lutim` or `filesystem` | Where to upload images. For S3, see our Image Upload Guides for [S3](guides/s3-image-upload.md) or [Minio](guides/minio-image-upload.md), also there's a whole section on their respective env vars below. |
| `CMD_SOURCE_URL` | `https://github.com/codimd/server/tree/<current commit>` | Provides the link to the source code of CodiMD on the entry page (Please, make sure you change this when you run a modified version) |
