docs: Clarify multi-server Proxmox temperature monitoring setup

Browse source 
The quick-setup command from Pulse UI uses --standalone --http-mode
which is for Docker deployments. Users with multiple Proxmox servers
(Pulse on server A, monitoring server B) should use --ctid instead.

The installer detects when the container doesn't exist locally and
installs in "host monitoring only" mode.

## 🌐 Remote Nodes (HTTP Mode)

For nodes *other* than the one running Pulse, install the proxy in HTTP mode.
If you have Pulse running on **Server A** and want to monitor temperatures on **Server B** (a separate Proxmox host without Pulse):

1. **Run Installer on Server B** (the remote Proxmox host):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/latest/download/install-sensor-proxy.sh | \
sudo bash -s -- --standalone --http-mode --pulse-server http://<pulse-ip>:7655
sudo bash -s -- --ctid <PULSE_CONTAINER_ID> --pulse-server http://<pulse-ip>:7655
```
2. **Verify**: Pulse will automatically detect the proxy and start collecting data.
Replace `<PULSE_CONTAINER_ID>` with the LXC container ID where Pulse runs on Server A (e.g., `100`).
2. The installer will detect that the container doesn't exist locally and install in **host monitoring only** mode:
```
[WARN] Container 100 does not exist on this node
[WARN] Will install sensor-proxy for host temperature monitoring only
```
3. **Verify**: `systemctl status pulse-sensor-proxy`
> **Note**: The `--standalone --http-mode` flags shown in the Pulse UI quick-setup are for Docker deployments, not bare Proxmox hosts. For multi-server Proxmox setups, use the `--ctid` approach above.
