Contracts - Add deployment and initialization script under contracts for testnet

Description

There is no scripted deploy for the escrow contract. Add a script that builds, deploys, and initializes the contract on Stellar testnet using the stellar CLI, wiring the resulting contract id into the env vars consumed by src/lib/backend/config.ts.

Requirements and context

• Must be secure, tested, and documented
• Should be efficient and easy to review
• Build with stellar contract build against contracts/Cargo.toml
• Deploy and call initialize(admin, token, fee_recipient)
• Output the contract id for NEXT_PUBLIC_COMMITMENT_CORE_CONTRACT
• Keep secrets out of the script (read from env)

Suggested execution

• Fork the repo and create a branch
• git checkout -b feature/contracts-testnet-deploy-script
• Implement changes
  • Add contracts/scripts/deploy-testnet.sh
  • Add a dry-run test or lint where feasible
  • Document the deploy flow in contracts/README.md
  • Add env-var safety comments
• Test and commit
  • Run tests, cover edge cases
  • Include test output and notes

Example commit message
