Add Hermes web dashboard at hermes.apps.williamturner.eu

Enabled via HERMES_DASHBOARD=1 (supervised in-container alongside the
gateway, per docs/user-guide/docker.md), bound to 0.0.0.0:9119 so Traefik
can reach it. Two independent auth layers, not one:

1. Traefik basicauth middleware in front of the whole route.
2. Hermes's own basic-auth gate (mandatory once the bind is non-loopback).

Hermes's docs explicitly call basic-auth-alone "not suitable for direct
public-internet exposure" and cite a real June 2026 incident where
internet scanners reached exposed dashboards and drove agents into
planting SSH-key backdoors — hence the extra Traefik-level gate rather
than relying on Hermes's own login page alone.

Also fixes: the htpasswd hash for Traefik's basicauth needs its literal
'$' characters escaped as '2824147' in .env, or docker compose's own variable
interpolation corrupts it (mistook '' for further
 references). Also switched the hash from Python's default SHA-512
crypt ('$...') to apr1 ('$...', via openssl passwd -apr1) —
Traefik's basicauth middleware doesn't accept SHA-512-crypt.

Also re-adds Hermes's OPENAI_BASE_URL/OPENAI_API_KEY routing through the
local litellm gateway (instead of OPENROUTER_API_KEY direct) — this was
part of the now-abandoned PR #12 and never actually landed on main.
