Subject: [PATCH] Setup Railway deployment with ghostfolio-agent submodule
 support

Configure the deployment so Ghostfolio deploys from the main branch and
the ghostfolio-agent submodule uses the ghostfolio-main branch:

- Add .gitmodules defining ghostfolio-agent on ghostfolio-main branch
- Add scripts/railway-build.sh for local/CI builds with submodule init
- Add scripts/railway-deploy.sh as container runtime entry-point
- Update Dockerfile to clone ghostfolio-agent during the build stage
  when the submodule is not pre-initialized in the build context
- Update railway.toml with branch strategy documentation
