For k8s-kind, relative paths (e.g., ./data/rpc-config) are resolved to
$DEPLOYMENT_DIR/path by _make_absolute_host_path() during kind config
generation. This provides Docker Host persistence that survives cluster
restarts.
Previously, validation threw an exception before paths could be resolved,
making it impossible to use relative paths for persistent storage.
Changes:
- deployment_create.py: Skip relative path check for k8s-kind
- cluster_info.py: Allow relative paths to reach PV generation
- docs/deployment_patterns.md: Document volume persistence patterns

Document that:
- Volumes persist across cluster deletion by design
- Only use --delete-volumes when explicitly requested
- Multiple deployments share one kind cluster
- Use --skip-cluster-management to stop single deployment

The existing 'image-registry' key is used for pushing images to a remote
registry (URL string). Rename the new auth config to 'registry-credentials'
to avoid collision.

Add ability to configure private container registry credentials in spec.yml
for deployments using images from registries like GHCR.
- Add get_image_registry_config() to spec.py for parsing image-registry config
- Add create_registry_secret() to create K8s docker-registry secrets
- Update cluster_info.py to use dynamic {deployment}-registry secret names
- Update deploy_k8s.py to create registry secret before deployment
- Document feature in deployment_patterns.md
The token-env pattern keeps credentials out of git - the spec references an
environment variable name, and the actual token is passed at runtime.
