Standardize paths, add version endpoint, request timeouts, HOST env var, graceful shutdown
Cross-platform hardening — removes all hardcoded /app/ paths from route files
and routes them through platform-paths.js so the app works the same way
regardless of Docker layout (single-file mount vs consolidated data dir).

Changes:
- platform-paths.js: add generatedCertsDir, pkiDir, containerUpdatesDir,
  containerFrontendDir, containerAssetsDir, resolveAssetsPath()
- self-updater.js: UPDATE_URL/MIRROR_URL/CHANNEL env var overrides
- routes/ca.js: use platformPaths for cert paths and generated certs dir
- routes/services.js: use platformPaths.pkiRootCert
- routes/themes.js: derive THEMES_DIR from platformPaths.servicesFile
- routes/config/assets.js + backup.js: use resolveAssetsPath() fallback
- routes/services.js + src/app.js: use platformPaths.pkiRootCert
- server.js: HOST env var support, parse PORT as int
- src/app.js: GET /api/v1/version (public, no auth), global request timeout,
  disable x-powered-by, trust proxy
- pylon/dashcaddy-pylon.js: PYLON_HOST env var, graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT

A fresh user can now deploy with a custom Docker layout (e.g. /opt/dc/data/
as a single volume mount) and the app finds its files automatically, no env
var configuration required.

/**
* DashCaddy Pylon — Lightweight Health Relay Agent
*
* Runs on a remote network to relay health checks for services
* that the main DashCaddy instance can't reach directly.
*
* Zero dependencies — uses only Node.js built-ins.
*
* Usage:
* node dashcaddy-pylon.js # port 3002, no auth
* PYLON_PORT=3002 PYLON_KEY=secret node dashcaddy-pylon.js
*
* Endpoints:
* GET /probe?url=<url> Health check a URL (returns status)
* GET /health Pylon's own health
* GET /info Pylon metadata
