docs: fix stale references, seed data case bugs, and convert ASCII diagrams to Mermaid

Browse Source 
Audit all docs and examples against current codebase state. Fix seed_demo.sql
domain constant casing (IssuerType, TargetType, AgentStatus) that would cause
agent dispatch failures. Fix example docker-compose health endpoints (/health
not /api/v1/health) and env var names (CERTCTL_DATABASE_URL). Update connector
counts, test numbers, and planned→implemented status across docs. Convert 3
ASCII flow diagrams to Mermaid.

### Deployment Targets
Targets are the systems where certificates actually get installed — NGINX web servers, Apache httpd servers, HAProxy load balancers, F5 BIG-IP appliances, Microsoft IIS servers. Each target type has a **connector** that knows how to deploy certificates to that specific system (e.g., writing files and reloading NGINX or Apache config, building a combined PEM for HAProxy).
Targets are the systems where certificates actually get installed — NGINX web servers, Apache httpd servers, HAProxy load balancers, Traefik reverse proxies, Caddy servers, Envoy gateways, Postfix/Dovecot mail servers, Microsoft IIS servers, and network appliances. Each target type has a **connector** that knows how to deploy certificates to that specific system (e.g., writing files and reloading NGINX or Apache config, building a combined PEM for HAProxy).
For targets where an agent runs directly on the machine (NGINX, Apache, HAProxy, IIS), the agent deploys certificates locally — no remote access needed. For network appliances where you can't install an agent (F5 BIG-IP, Palo Alto, etc.), a **proxy agent** in the same network zone picks up the deployment job and calls the appliance's API. The server never initiates outbound connections to any target.
