LocalAI [bot] 7e59a5c7c5 docs: architecture & feature diagrams (blueprint style) (#10137)
* docs: add 'how LocalAI works' architecture diagram

Add a blueprint-style architecture diagram: clients -> small core (API,
router, WebUI, agents) -> gRPC -> backend processes pulled on demand as
OCI images. Place it on the overview page and replace the stale external
architecture image on the reference page.

* docs: add blueprint diagrams across feature, distributed & getting-started docs

Add 24 architecture/flow/comparison diagrams (PNG + HTML source) under
docs/static/images/diagrams/, wired into their docs pages, from an
impact-vs-effort audit of the docs. Broaden the API surface on the
overview architecture diagram (OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Ollama,
and LocalAI's own API) and move the gRPC boundary label clear of the arrows.

Pages: distributed mode (architecture, scheduling, ds4 layer-split),
distributed inferencing, MLX, realtime, quantization, MCP, agents,
mitm & cloud proxy, middleware, reverse-proxy TLS, VRAM, voice & face
recognition, reranker, function calling, fine-tuning (recipe + jobs),
diarization, audio transform, quickstart, model resolution.

* docs: add composable-core diagram to README hero

Commit the composable-core card (small core + on-demand backend tiles)
alongside the other diagrams and reference it from the README hero via a
repo-relative path, so it renders on GitHub.

* docs: fix composable-core connectors/badge and federated-vs-worker layout

- composable-core: thicken the plug-in connectors so they read clearly, and
  widen the SEPARATE IMAGE badge so its text no longer overflows the box.
- federated-vs-worker: shorten the WHOLE/SPLIT REQUEST pills to fit, and
  replace the tangled node-to-node activation arrows with a clean fan-out
  (request split across all sharded nodes), mirroring the federated panel.
