docs: add API key registration URLs to .env.example

Add inline comments with URLs for API key registration:
- OPENAI_API_KEY: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
- ALPHAADVANTAGE_API_KEY: https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key
- JINA_API_KEY: https://jina.ai/

Makes it easier for users to find where to get their API keys.
