docs(quickstart): document server-side hardware requirements (#123) - #133
Merged

Conversation
New users hit `could not select device driver "nvidia"` when bringing up the compose stack on a GPU-less host, with no docs explaining what hardware the server side actually needs. Add a "Server hardware" subsection to the Quickstart making explicit that the default stack (FunASR SenseVoice ASR + LocalPiper TTS) is CPU-only, and that the `runtime: nvidia` block is needed solely for the optional WhisperLocal ASR path. Document that `make setup` auto-detects the NVIDIA runtime and strips the CUDA block when absent, plus the manual removal steps for hand-rendered compose files.

Adds a Server hardware subsection to
