docs(gateway): remove stale TCP loopback fallback section

The TCP fallback was removed from gateway_nginx.rs in the previous
commit. Update docs/gateway.md to match:
- Step 4: remove 'TCP loopback for agents not yet rebuilt' — always UDS now
- Remove the 'TCP loopback fallback' subsection entirely

## TCP loopback fallback
While an agent's unix-socket marker is absent, the gateway routes its
`/agent/<name>/` traffic to a TCP loopback upstream in `agents.conf`. The
port is derived on the fly from `lifecycle::agent_web_port(name)` — a pure
FNV-1a hash of the name, reproducible from the name alone, no name
special-cased (so no on-disk port map is needed). Once the agent binds its
unix socket — every agent does, via `HIVE_WEB_SOCKET` — the gateway
switches to the socket upstream from `agent-sockets.json`. The root agent's
UI is routed at `/agent/root/`.
`agents.conf` uses atomic `<path>.tmp` + `rename()` writes so a crashing
c0re process never leaves a partial or unparseable file behind.
