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.

DeerFlow is a LangGraph-based AI super agent system with a full-stack architecture. The backend provides a "super agent" with sandbox execution, persistent memory, subagent delegation, and extensible tool integration - all operating in per-thread isolated environments.
**Architecture**:
- **LangGraph Server** (port 2024): Agent runtime and workflow execution
- **Gateway API** (port 8001): REST API for models, MCP, skills, memory, artifacts, uploads, and local thread cleanup
- **Gateway API** (port 8001): REST API plus embedded LangGraph-compatible agent runtime
- **Frontend** (port 3000): Next.js web interface
- **Nginx** (port 2026): Unified reverse proxy entry point
- **Provisioner** (port 8002, optional in Docker dev): Started only when sandbox is configured for provisioner/Kubernetes mode
**Runtime Modes**:
- **Standard mode** (`make dev`): LangGraph Server handles agent execution as a separate process. 4 processes total.
- **Gateway mode** (`make dev-pro`, experimental): Agent runtime embedded in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Service manages its own concurrency via async tasks. 3 processes total, no LangGraph Server.
**Runtime**:
- `make dev`, Docker dev, and production all run the agent runtime in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Nginx exposes that runtime at `/api/langgraph/*` and rewrites it to Gateway's native `/api/*` routers.
