Advanced runtime variables

Runtime ports can be changed with RUNTIME_AGENT_PORT, RUNTIME_WEB_PORT, RUNTIME_GATEWAY_PORT, and RUNTIME_UI_PORT. The default runtime instance name is RUNTIME_INSTANCE=god-town.

Legacy compatibility

scripts/god.sh accepts older AGENTSOCIETY_* and JIUWENCLAW_* names, maps them into GOD_* values, and exports the internal names needed by the integrated services.
