netbird-dashboard: fix SPA routing by falling back to index.html

[ujaandas]

Motivation for this change

The NetBird dashboard is a Single Page Application (SPA). Currently, the nixos/netbird-dashboard module configures Nginx without a fallback to index.html.

Because of this, when users attempt to authenticate using an IDP (like Keycloak or PocketID), the IDP redirects back to the dashboard at routes like /auth or /silent-auth. Nginx intercepts these, fails to find a matching file, and returns a 404 instead of letting the SPA handle the routing.

This change updates the default Nginx tryFiles configuration to "$uri $uri/ /index.html", which properly routes these requests to the frontend app.
