therealaleph 9909b9b30b docs(tunnel): document ngrok *.ngrok-free.dev block + alternative hosts (#924)
Multiple Iran-ISP users (#924 Recruit1992, #913 ehsan272727) report that
ngrok's free tier now exclusively hands out *.ngrok-free.dev domains for
new accounts, with no path to claim the older *.ngrok-free.app TLD. Some
Iran ISPs (TCI, Irancell, IRMCI confirmed) block *.ngrok-free.dev at DNS
or TCP. Symptom: curl from Iran network to ngrok URL times out, but works
from non-Iran.

Updates README.md and ngrok.md to:

1. Note the ngrok TLD shift (.app grandfathered, .dev for new accounts).
2. List ISPs confirmed to block *.ngrok-free.dev.
3. Add an "Alternative hosts" section recommending HuggingFace Spaces
   (Docker SDK) as the most Iran-friendly option in 2026 — permanent
   *.hf.space URL with no tunnel layer.
4. Update the URL behavior column for Method 2 since ngrok now gives a
   permanent dev domain by default (not "new URL each session").

No code changes — docs only.
