[BUG] Wrong documentation for CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS

[marlenekoh]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

From the README

## Note on `CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`

On first run (or any startup where `REGENERATE_SETTINGS=true`) we will set `CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` to match the value of `SITE_ROOT`. If you need different/additional origins, you will need to edit `/config/local_settings.py` and add them yourself. Note that setting `REGENERATE_SETTINGS=true` will overwrite any changes on startup.

Expected Behavior

However, the behaviour has changed since this commit https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-healthchecks/commit/bd0cb9e6035632f76a01e8d49c40d8cb4d603d18

Please update the readme docs with an example that CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS has to be manually set, and that it takes in only a str and not a list (different behaviour from django's CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS)

Steps To Reproduce

Works

SITE_ROOT=https://my-healthchecks-app.abc.com
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https://my-healthchecks-app.abc.com

Does not work

SITE_ROOT=https://my-healthchecks-app.abc.com
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=["https://my-healthchecks-app.abc.com"]

SITE_ROOT=https://my-healthchecks-app.abc.com
# creates container with CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=[]

The readme isn't wrong, but the init logic was. The linked PR should fix the logic and also updates the readme to clarify setting the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS as it's not part of the Healthchecks docs.
