Refactor HTML and JavaScript structure; add health-check endpoint

- Removed inline CSS from index.html and linked to external stylesheet.
- Moved JavaScript code to a separate app.js file for better organization.
- Added a health-check endpoint to the Flask application for monitoring purposes.
- Implemented a static file serving route to handle requests for static assets.

`TESLACAM_DIRECTORY` should point to the root folder containing your
`RecentClips`, `SavedClips`, and `SentryClips` subfolders. Variables set in
the real environment take precedence over `.env`.
## Configuration
All settings are read from environment variables, with sensible defaults. You
can set them in a `.env` file, export them in the shell, or pass them to the
process manager.
