fix: route Claude API through backend instead of nginx envsubst

- Add Claude API proxy in mock-backend.js (reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from env)
- Supports SSE streaming via pipe
- Move ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to backend service in docker-compose.demo.yml
- Remove envsubst from entrypoint (no longer needed)
- nginx-demo.conf proxies /aiui/api/claude/ to backend

This fixes the 401 error when Portainer doesn't pass env vars to
nginx correctly — the Node.js backend reads process.env directly.
