docs: verify against real WHP + capture real screenshots

Discovery against the demo account on whp01 surfaced several inaccuracies:

- Cache is Valkey (Redis wire-compatible), not Redis or Memcached.
  No Memcached is offered as a separate service.
- Site Monitoring is the sidebar label (not 'AI Monitor').
- 'Add a domain' has no Primary/Add-on distinction.
- Sites form: 'Container Type' (not 'Site type'), Number of Containers
  (1-10 for horizontal scaling), CPU per Container (default 0.25),
  Memory per Container (default 256MB), SSL inline on the same form.
- Backups: default retention 5 days / 10 backups; on-demand + scheduled;
  S3 backup targets are visible and configurable.
- Email: per-domain settings live behind 'Setup Instructions' on the
  Email page; mail server hostname is on the Dashboard (per-server,
  e.g. mail01.cloud-hosting.io), not per-domain.

Also reworked the screenshot pipeline:
- New shots.config.ts targets the real index.php?page=... URLs
- Added redactSensitive() step that runs before each screenshot to swap
  server names, IPs, mail hostnames, and demo-user-isms with neutral
  placeholders. This keeps docs portable across the fleet.
- Hides .brand-full and .navbar-text (top-bar server identifier and
  Welcome greeting).
- Captured 9 real WHP screenshots; removed stale placeholders.

2. Enter your domain (for example, `example.com`). Don't include `http://` or `www.` — just the bare domain.
2. Under **Add New Domain** on the left, type your domain (for example, `example.com`). Don't include `http://` or `www.` — just the bare domain.
3. Choose the domain type:
- **Primary** — your account's main domain. Pick this if it's your first.
- **Add-on** — an extra domain alongside your primary.
4. Click **Add**. WHP confirms the domain and shows the nameserver values and an A record you can point at.
3. Click **Add Domain**.
</Steps>
WHP creates the standard set of DNS records automatically for the new domain:
- **A record** for the apex domain → your server's IP
- **CNAME** for `www` → the apex
- **NS records** for the nameservers
- **MX record** → the mail server
- **TXT record** for SPF
You can review and tweak any of these from the **DNS Management** panel on the right side of the Domains page (select the domain from the dropdown).
## Point your DNS at us
There are two paths depending on where the domain is registered:
**Registered with us:** nothing to do. We set DNS automatically when the domain was created. Skip ahead to verify.
