docs(compose): document the memory-stack docker-compose services (#1242)
## What

Adds explanatory comments throughout `docker-compose.yml` so the "memory
stack" is self-documenting for new users.

Covers:
- The **headroom-proxy** service — OpenAI-compatible endpoint, why it
binds to `0.0.0.0`, the `/readyz` healthcheck, and the `depends_on`
start-order caveat.
- **Qdrant** (vector search) and **Neo4j** (relationship graph) — their
roles, exposed ports, and named volumes for persistence.
- A header block with quick-start steps, the full list of host-exposed
ports, and a note that the proxy can run standalone without the
datastores.
- A callout that the `NEO4J_AUTH` default is **local-dev only** and must
be overridden before any non-local use.

## Why

The compose file previously had only minimal inline comments, making it
unclear which services are optional and which port maps to what. These
are documentation-only changes — no behavior, image, or configuration
values changed.

# =============================================================================
# Headroom — full "memory stack" compose
# =============================================================================
# Brings up the Headroom proxy together with the two datastores it needs for
# semantic memory: Qdrant (vector search) and Neo4j (relationship graph).
#
# Quick start:
# 1. cp .env.example .env # then set a real NEO4J_AUTH before any non-local use
# 2. docker compose up -d
# 3. point your LLM client at http://localhost:8787 (proxy)
#
# Just want the proxy without the memory features? You can run the proxy image
# on its own (`docker run -p 8787:8787 ghcr.io/chopratejas/headroom`); the two
# database services below are only required for the memory/relevance features.
#
# Ports exposed on the host:
# 8787 proxy (OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
# 6333 Qdrant REST 6334 Qdrant gRPC
# 7474 Neo4j Browser 7687 Neo4j Bolt
# =============================================================================
