fix: use absolute path for CUDA directory detection
The capability detection was using a relative path 'usr/local/cuda-13'
which doesn't work when LocalAI is run from a different working directory.
This caused whisper (and other backends) to fail on CUDA-13 containers
because the system incorrectly detected 'nvidia' capability instead of
'nvidia-cuda-13', leading to wrong backend selection (cuda12-whisper
instead of cuda13-whisper).

This addresses issue #8108 where the legacy nvidia driver configuration
causes container startup failures with newer NVIDIA Container Toolkit versions.
Changes:
- Update docker-compose example to show both CDI (recommended) and legacy
nvidia driver options
- Add troubleshooting section for 'Auto-detected mode as legacy' error
- Document the fix for nvidia-container-cli 'invalid expression' errors
The root cause is a Docker/NVIDIA Container Toolkit configuration issue,
not a LocalAI code bug. The error occurs during the container runtime's
prestart hook before LocalAI starts.

* fix(gallery): add fallback URI resolution for backend installation
When a backend installation fails (e.g., due to missing 'latest-' tag),
try fallback URIs in order:
1. Replace 'latest-' with 'master-' in the URI
2. If that fails, append '-development' to the backend name
This fixes the issue where backend index entries don't match the
repository tags. For example, installing 'ace-step' tries to download
'latest-gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-ace-step' but only 'master-gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-ace-step'
exists in the quay.io registry.
Fixes: #8437

* fix: add requirements-install.txt with setuptools for build isolation
The faster-qwen3-tts backend requires setuptools to build packages
like sox that have setuptools as a build dependency. This ensures
the build completes successfully in CI.

Closes#8119
When installing models from the gallery, files are created with 0600
permissions (owner read/write only), making them unreadable by the
LocalAI server when running as a different user.
This fix changes the permissions to 0644 (owner read/write, group/others
read), allowing the server to read model files regardless of the user
it runs as.

fix: reload model configuration after editing (issue #8647)
- Add *model.ModelLoader parameter to EditModelEndpoint
- Call ml.ShutdownModel() after saving config to unload the running model
- Model will be reloaded on next inference request with new settings (e.g., context_size)
- Update route registration to pass ml to EditModelEndpoint

* docs: merge Docker and Podman docs into unified Containers guide
Following the review comment, we have merged the Docker and Podman
documentation into a single 'Containers' page that covers both container
engines. The Docker and Podman pages now redirect to this unified guide.
Changes:
- Added new docs/content/installation/containers.md with combined Docker/Podman guide
- Updated docs/content/installation/docker.md to redirect to containers
- Updated docs/content/installation/podman.md to redirect to containers
- Updated docs/content/installation/_index.en.md to link to containers
