Feature Request: Customize FastAPI Metadata

Description

Add a way to change FastAPI metadata (like title, description, license info, contact details, etc) and control the visibility of documentation URLs through the app_config parameter in LitServer.

Motivation

It would be helpful to easily customize API documentation details and hide docs URLs if needed, to keep things private or more tailored to specific needs.

Proposal

Update LitServer to accept an app_config dictionary for metadata settings:

server = LitServer(..., app_config={
    "title": "Lit API",
    "description": "Lit API Description",
    "license_info": {"name": "MIT", "url": "https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT"},

    # "docs_url": None,  # to Hide docs URL
    ...
})

In server.py, apply these settings to FastAPI:

self.app = FastAPI(lifespan=self.lifespan, **app_config)
