Fix HTTPS caching - config-script now processes all domain configs

Critical Bug Fix:
- Config-script was incomplete, only fixing main nginx.conf
- HTTPS traffic was bypassing Varnish (went directly to Apache:444)
- Now processes all per-domain configs to force HTTP backend protocol
- Enables true HTTPS caching via SSL termination at Nginx

Technical Changes:
- Added per-domain config processing loop to config-script
- Forces http://apache_backend_http_IP for all traffic (HTTP and HTTPS)
- Replaces $scheme://apache_backend_${scheme}_IP pattern
- Logs domain count and modifications for troubleshooting

Performance at Scale:
- Processes 200 domains in ~2-3 seconds (single sed per file)
- Runs after ea-nginx rebuilds (SSL changes, domain adds, updates)
- Efficient enough for large multi-tenant servers

Documentation:
- Added "Performance at Scale" section with timing estimates
- Clarified HTTPS caching actually works now
