docs(hermes): document namespace addressability and fix stale claims

New page Architecture/Container Network Namespaces.md: which local services are
addressable from which Podman network namespace on Dankclaw (rootless podman +
netavark). Verified live 2026-09-02: gateway/webui/CDP run in the host netns and
dial loopback; hermes-dashboard is the only Hermes container on a bridge network
(dankclaw_default, 10.89.1.0/24 gw 10.89.1.1) and can dial published ports only —
unpublished host-netns listeners (signal-cli :8080, webui :8787) are refused from
that namespace even though both bind 0.0.0.0.

Corrected while verifying the above:
- Hermes.md: data root is /home/dank/Containers/hermes/data (not the retired
  /home/dank/hermes-data); gateway dials the Signal daemon on loopback; the
  daemon itself is a host user unit (signal-cli-daemon.service) bound to
  0.0.0.0:8080, so the Signal HTTP API is LAN-reachable.
- Hermes-Dashboard.md: it is a Quadlet unit (Network=dankclaw_default), not a
  compose service; data root + /opt/data anonymous volume corrected.
- Hermes-WebUI.md: binds 0.0.0.0:8787 in the host netns (verified: unauthenticated
  GET /health from another LAN machine returned 200) — the SSH tunnel is an access
  path, not a containment boundary; HealthCmd and data-path corrections.
- Network Architecture.md: no hermes vhost exists in either the tracked or the live
  Caddyfile (hermes.franksdank.cloud resolves but routes nowhere); SearXNG exits the
  tunnel via the shared named network searxng.network, not service:gluetun.

Docs only — deploy is a no-op for this change.

## Gluetun Path (SearXNG only)
SearXNG attaches to the Gluetun network namespace (`network_mode: service:gluetun`). Only SearXNG shares the tunnel. Everything else on Dankclaw uses the normal LAN route. This matches KB Pattern 2 in [[Gluetun]].
`gluetun.container`, `searxng.container` and `searxng-valkey.container` all set
`Network=searxng.network` in their Quadlet sources (runtime network
`systemd-searxng`); only those three share the tunnel. The old compose idiom
(`network_mode: service:gluetun`) is gone — a shared named network is what
carries SearXNG's outbound traffic through the VPN exit. Everything else on
Dankclaw uses the normal LAN route. This matches KB Pattern 2 in [[Gluetun]].
See [[Container Network Namespaces]] for which addresses are reachable from that
namespace (none of the unpublished host-netns listeners).
