feat(observability): add Traefik routing and required absolute data root

- Make OBSERVABILITY_DATA_ROOT required in docker-compose.observability.yml
  so Portainer deployments must set an absolute host path.
- Add Traefik labels and the web external network to Grafana, Prometheus,
  and Alertmanager with env-driven hostnames, router/service names,
  internal ports, entrypoint, and cert resolver.
- Keep direct host ports as a fallback for local debugging.
- Update docs/observability-runbooks.md with required variables,
  Traefik hostname column, and a .env.observability example.

Prometheus and Alertmanager do not have authentication. When exposing them through Traefik, add a basic-auth middleware or restrict access by network.
To scrape a Manage backend from this standalone stack, edit `monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.standalone.yml` and add a static target for the backend's `/metrics` endpoint, or drop a file-SD JSON file into `monitoring/prometheus/file-sd/`.
