refactor: merge gateway functionality into frontend container

Eliminated duplicate nginx containers by merging gateway reverse proxy
functionality into the frontend container. This simplifies deployment
and reduces resource usage.

Architecture changes:
- Frontend now serves both static files AND reverse proxies to backend
- Single nginx container handles all HTTP routing
- Gateway container removed from builds and Helm chart

Dockerfile.frontend changes:
- Added upstream backend configuration
- Added proxy locations for /api, /health, /metrics, /npm, /pypi, /go, /ws
- Added rate limiting for API and downloads
- Added WebSocket support
- Configurable via BACKEND_HOST and BACKEND_PORT env vars

Helm chart changes:
- Updated frontend deployment to configure backend connection
- Simplified ingress to single route (all traffic → frontend)
- Frontend proxies backend requests internally
- Removed separate frontend/api ingress configurations

GoReleaser changes:
- Removed gohoarder-gateway Docker build
- Now builds: server, scanner, migrate, frontend (4 images)

Benefits:
- Fewer containers to manage
- Reduced complexity in Docker Compose and Kubernetes
- Single point of configuration for routing
- Better resource utilization
