Direct nginx logs to stdout/stderr

[razo7]

Why we need this PR

The nginx console plugin writes nothing to stdout/stderr by default, failing the certsuite container logging best practice test (RHWA-987). Containers must emit logs to standard streams for Kubernetes log collection to work.

Changes made

Added access_log /dev/stdout; and error_log /dev/stderr warn; directives to the nginx server block in default.conf.

How to test

1. Build and deploy the console plugin
2. Verify nginx access and error logs appear in kubectl logs
3. Confirm certsuite container logging test passes
