Add comparison docs: collectd-web vs Grafana / heavier observability stacks #194

Description

@httpdss

Summary

Publish an honest comparison page explaining when collectd-web is a good fit versus a larger observability stack such as Grafana.

Why this matters

Many users searching for monitoring dashboards default to Grafana. collectd-web can win when the user wants a simple, lightweight frontend for existing collectd/RRD data.

Scope

  • Add a docs page such as docs/collectd-web-vs-grafana.md.
  • Compare setup complexity, resource footprint, data source assumptions, customization, and best-fit use cases.
  • Include “choose collectd-web when…” and “choose Grafana when…” sections.
  • Link from README/docs navigation.

Acceptance criteria

  • Comparison is balanced and technically accurate.
  • Page positions collectd-web around lightweight collectd/RRD visualization rather than claiming to replace full observability platforms.
  • Page includes CTA to install/test collectd-web.
  • README links to the comparison page.
