feat: Domain-based routing — marketing site at bare domain, panel at subdomain

corrosionmgmt.com now serves LandingView as the default page with marketing
routes at root level. panel.corrosionmgmt.com continues serving the admin
panel unchanged. /site/* backward compat via redirects on marketing domain.

- nginx: Add bare domain server block (only proxies /api/early-access/)
- router: Detect hostname at module load, generate domain-specific routes
- MarketingLayout: Named routes for nav, external <a> tags for auth links
- LandingView: CTAs point to panel domain via VITE_PANEL_URL
