feat(server): remove egui web UI POC and cleanup dependencies

- Remove 'egui-web' feature and eframe/wasm32 dependencies from server crate.
- Delete egui web UI source code, HTML, and build scripts.
- Remove egui routes and handlers from HTTP server.
- Update documentation and .gitignore to reflect the removal of the POC.

-LocalGPT includes a Proof of Concept for running the desktop Egui UI in the browser via WebAssembly. This enables code reuse between desktop and web interfaces.
