for deployments that expose panel/csc via a proxy,
the auto-generated base url printed in emails can
be unreachable. we therefore introduce the option
to explicitly specify a base url to use.
it will support an sprintf pattern with individual
params for eg.:
- protocol scheme
- domain part
- port
- base url path
