fix: hermes-web-ui build (add esbuild) + dual-process (gateway + Node.js BFF)

- Fix Dockerfile: add 'npm install esbuild' before 'npm run build' to resolve missing dependency
- Output webui dist to /app/dist/ (server + client) maintaining relative paths
- New start.sh: start hermes gateway on 8642, then Node.js BFF on 7860
- Remove Node.js build tools after build to save ~300MB
- Hermes gateway runs as background process, Node.js as foreground
- Added gateway readiness check before starting webui server
