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.

* More appropriate place for data storing
The /usr/share subtree in Linux is used for data that generally are not
supposed to change. Conventional places for changeable data are usually
located under /var, so /var/lib seems to be a reasonable default here.
* Data paths consistency fix
* Directory name consistency fix
