docs: add nginx subpath deployment template

Users deploying behind a reverse proxy need a config they can adapt.

The template documents each proxy block and centralizes upstream/subpath values.

It also notes that Nginx location matchers still require literal subpath edits.

# CloudCLI UI Nginx subpath deployment template.
#
# Purpose:
# Serve CloudCLI UI from a path prefix such as:
# http://localhost/ai/
# https://example.com/ai/
#
# CloudCLI itself still runs at the root of its own HTTP server, for example:
# http://127.0.0.1:3001/
#
# Nginx receives public requests under /ai, strips that prefix, and forwards the
# remaining path to CloudCLI. For example:
# /ai/ -> /
# /ai/session/abc -> /session/abc
# /ai/assets/index.js -> /assets/index.js
#
# Important Nginx limitation:
# Nginx does not allow variables in `location` matchers or `rewrite` regexes.
# The configurable variables below are still useful for proxy/filter values,
# but if you change /ai to a different subpath, also update every line marked:
# [SUBPATH LITERAL]
#
# To use a different subpath, replace these literal matchers:
# location = /ai
# location ^~ /ai/
# rewrite ^/ai(?<cloudcli_path>/.*)$ ...
#
# Recommended deployment shape:
# CloudCLI is the only app using /ai, while root paths /api, /ws, and /shell
# are also proxied because the current frontend still calls those endpoints
# with root-relative URLs.
