feat: add nginx reversed proxy (#15)

* docs: add nginx reverse proxy documentation

Add comprehensive nginx configuration documentation to README including:
- Production deployment instructions with step-by-step setup
- Architecture diagram showing traffic routing between services
- Nginx features: unified entry point, CORS handling, SSE support
- Updated project structure with nginx.conf and service ports

### Production Deployment
For production environments, use nginx as a reverse proxy to route traffic between the gateway and LangGraph services:
1. **Start backend services**:
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start Gateway API (port 8001)
cd backend
python -m src.gateway.app
# Terminal 2: Start LangGraph Server (port 2024)
cd backend
langgraph up
```
2. **Start nginx**:
```bash
nginx -c $(pwd)/nginx.conf
```
3. **Access the application**:
- Main API: http://localhost:8000
The nginx configuration provides:
- Unified entry point on port 8000
- Routes `/api/models`, `/api/threads/*/artifacts`, and `/health` to Gateway (8001)
- Routes all other requests to LangGraph (2024)
- Centralized CORS handling
- SSE/streaming support for real-time agent responses
- Optimized timeouts for long-running operations
