Refactor backend services to reduce technical debt

This commit addresses several areas of technical debt in the backend:

- Separated development and production dependencies into `requirements.txt` and `requirements-dev.txt`.
- Refactored the configuration in `app/config.py` to improve security and clarity.
- Simplified the CORS configuration in `main.py`.
- Introduced a `BaseService` class to handle common CRUD operations and reduce code duplication.
- Refactored `UserService`, `ExpenseService`, `GroupService`, and `AuthService` to use the `BaseService` and dependency injection.
- Updated all API routers to use dependency injection for the services.
- Updated the CI workflow to install development dependencies.
