Refactor DeerFlow to use Gateway's LangGraph-compatible API

- Updated documentation and comments to reflect the transition from LangGraph Server to Gateway.
- Changed default URLs in ChannelManager and tests to point to Gateway.
- Removed references to LangGraph Server in deployment scripts and configurations.
- Updated Nginx configuration to route API traffic to Gateway.
- Adjusted frontend configurations to utilize Gateway's API.
- Removed LangGraph service from Docker Compose files, consolidating services under Gateway.
- Added regression tests to ensure Gateway integration works as expected.

#### Startup Modes
DeerFlow supports multiple startup modes across two dimensions:
- **Dev / Prod** — dev enables hot-reload; prod uses pre-built frontend
- **Standard / Gateway** — standard uses a separate LangGraph server (4 processes); Gateway mode (experimental) embeds the agent runtime in the Gateway API (3 processes)
DeerFlow runs the agent runtime inside the Gateway API. Development mode enables hot-reload; production mode uses a pre-built frontend.

> **Gateway mode** eliminates the LangGraph server process — the Gateway API handles agent execution directly via async tasks, managing its own concurrency.
#### Why Gateway Mode?
In standard mode, DeerFlow runs a dedicated [LangGraph Platform](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) server alongside the Gateway API. This architecture works well but has trade-offs:
| | Standard Mode | Gateway Mode |
|---|---|---|
| **Architecture** | Gateway (REST API) + LangGraph (agent runtime) | Gateway embeds agent runtime |
| **Concurrency** | `--n-jobs-per-worker` per worker (requires license) | `--workers` × async tasks (no per-worker cap) |
| **Containers / Processes** | 4 (frontend, gateway, langgraph, nginx) | 3 (frontend, gateway, nginx) |
| **Resource usage** | Higher (two Python runtimes) | Lower (single Python runtime) |
| **LangGraph Platform license** | Required for production images | Not required |
| **Cold start** | Slower (two services to initialize) | Faster |
Both modes are functionally equivalent — the same agents, tools, and skills work in either mode.
Gateway owns `/api/langgraph/*` and translates those public LangGraph-compatible paths to its native `/api/*` routers behind nginx.
#### Docker Production Deployment
`deploy.sh` supports building and starting separately. Images are mode-agnostic — runtime mode is selected at start time:

5. The current integration supports inbound text, image, and file messages. Final images/files generated by the agent are also sent back to the WeCom conversation.
When DeerFlow runs in Docker Compose, IM channels execute inside the `gateway` container. In that case, do not point `channels.langgraph_url` or `channels.gateway_url` at `localhost`; use container service names such as `http://langgraph:2024` and `http://gateway:8001`, or set `DEER_FLOW_CHANNELS_LANGGRAPH_URL` and `DEER_FLOW_CHANNELS_GATEWAY_URL`.
