docs(readme): fix misleading Web UI section (#1110)

The "Web UI (browser-based)" section described an old client-side
architecture. Today gitnexus.vercel.app is a thin frontend that
auto-connects to a local `gitnexus serve` backend — there is no
ZIP drag-and-drop and no fully self-contained mode.

- Drop "No server, no install" claim
- Replace "drag & drop a ZIP" tagline with the actual onboarding step
- Add the missing `gitnexus serve` step to the local-dev block

Closes #1110
