codeandClaude Fable 5 340866f9f4 complete all stack READMEs to the 9-section template

Existing content preserved and reordered to the canonical section order;
missing sections generated from each stack's compose data (ports, volumes,
env vars, image links). Fixes copy-paste errors in Dockhand sections
(qbittorrent pointed at archivebox; invokeai/thunderbird said SERVICENAME)
and persistant->persistent typos in gatus.

Access the application's full graphical interface directly from any modern web browser - no downloads, installs, or setup required on the client side - or connect with any VNC client.

The web interface also offers audio playback, seamless clipboard sharing, an integrated file manager and terminal for accessing the container's files and shell, desktop notifications, and more.
