examples: Update paperless-ngx to use PostgreSQL (#153)

Match the real-world setup with Redis + PostgreSQL + App.
Remove NFS + PostgreSQL warning since it works fine in practice.

### AutoKuma Labels (Optional)
The autokuma example demonstrates compose-farm's **multi-host feature** - running the same stack on all hosts using the `all` keyword. AutoKuma itself is not part of compose-farm; it's just a good example because it needs to run on every host to monitor local Docker containers.

# - HTTP route: paperless.local for LAN access without TLS
# - Multi-container stack (Redis + App with SQLite)

# NOTE: This example uses SQLite (the default) instead of PostgreSQL.
# PostgreSQL should NOT be used with NFS storage due to fsync/locking issues.
# If you need PostgreSQL, use local volumes for the database.
