Deploy: change default HTTP port 8080 -> 8760

8080 is a very common, collision-prone port. 8760 (hours in a year) is an uncommon default that also avoids Home Assistant's 8123. Applied across Dockerfile (ASPNETCORE_URLS/EXPOSE), compose (mapping + healthcheck), the Unraid template, README and a code comment. The METERVAULT_PORT host override still works.
