Refactor validation process and update configuration examples

- Replaced the `validate-with-prefill.sh` script with a streamlined `make validate` command for improved usability.
- Updated `validate-config.yaml` to clarify cache management instructions and garbage collection algorithms.
- Enhanced comments to provide better guidance on upstream configurations and their implications for caching setups.

# Empty upstream = use Host header from the client (SteamPrefill / real Steam clients).
# This matches the common "DNS points lancache.steamcontent.com at the cache" setup.
# Allows for chaining steamcache2 instances if needed.
# For example, for a lan party you could have a small fast ram only cache at each table pointing to a larger slower disk cache in the back somewhere
# It would reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to the internet and the amount needed to each table
# just as a little reminder there is no authentication so this is not a good idea for a public cache just out on the internet.

# validate-with-prefill.sh
#
# Thin glue script to make it trivial for developers to validate complete
# steamcache2 functionality using the external SteamPrefill (lancacheprefill)
# tool as the realistic client simulator.
#
# Usage:
# 1. make build
# 2. ./scripts/validate-with-prefill.sh
# (Automatically kills any leftover steamcache2 on the target port first.)
# 3. In another terminal (or on another machine), run the printed
# SteamPrefill benchmark commands (the script tells you the exact address/port).
# 4. After the benchmark finishes, run the suggested metrics check.
# 5. Ctrl-C here to cleanly stop the steamcache2 instance.
#
# This script + the accompanying validate-config.yaml + README docs are the
# entire "couple little scripts to hook steamcache2 and lancacheprefill together"
# implementation. No Go code, no new dependencies, stays outside go test / bench.
