refactor: Switch to host-level SMB mounting (bind-mount approach)

- Remove container-level CIFS mounting (requires SYS_ADMIN capability)
- Use docker-compose.yml bind-mounts from host (/mnt/smb-ame/*)
- Simplify entrypoint.sh to just verify mount points exist
- Include mount command in comments for host setup
- More reliable and doesn't require Docker capability grants

To use:
1. Mount SMB on host: sudo mount -t cifs //172.18.210.5/ame /mnt/smb-ame \
   -o username=smb,password=Production2020!,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,vers=3.0
2. Update /etc/fstab to persist mount across reboots
3. Start container: docker compose up -d
