docs(reference): document remote-deploy env vars

[latenighthackathon]

Summary

Adds a ### Remote Deployment subsection to the ## Environment Variables reference, documenting the four env vars that src/lib/deploy/index.ts reads for the nemoclaw deploy / nemoclaw onboard --remote flow. Follow-up to #3184: the env-var doc gate currently passes because these vars are accessed via a destructured env.NEMOCLAW_* local that the AST extractor does not flag, but the same users who hit the new gate-enforced sections also hit these deploy knobs and had no doc entry to find them.

Related Issue

Follow-up to #3184. Original umbrella issue #3059 was already substantively addressed by #3184; this PR closes the four remaining deploy-vars gaps from that audit.

Changes

• docs/reference/commands.mdx: new ### Remote Deployment subsection between ### Lifecycle Behavior Flags and ## NemoHermes Alias. One table with four rows: NEMOCLAW_BREV_PROVIDER (default gcp), NEMOCLAW_GPU (default a2-highgpu-1g:nvidia-tesla-a100:1), NEMOCLAW_DEPLOY_NO_CONNECT, NEMOCLAW_DEPLOY_NO_START_SERVICES. Defaults verified against src/lib/deploy/index.ts:295-303.
• .agents/skills/nemoclaw-user-reference/references/commands.md: same subsection added at the corresponding position to keep the auto-generated skill in sync.

Test plan

• prek run clean
• Defaults cross-checked against the current env.NEMOCLAW_* reads in src/lib/deploy/index.ts (the file moved from src/lib/deploy.ts to src/lib/deploy/index.ts upstream)
