proxy: qualify reload_includes with absolute config path

Address Greptile review on PR #27274. When the --config file lives
outside cwd, reload_includes previously stored only the basename, which
meant uvicorn/watchfiles would also reload on edits to any same-named
file inside cwd. Use the absolute config path as the include pattern in
that case so only the actual proxy config triggers a restart.
