docs: add ssePort, protocol config, and port mapping documentation

[officialasishkumar]

What has changed?

This pull request updates the documentation for the Keploy configuration file to clarify and extend how port and host overrides are handled during test replay. It introduces new configuration options for protocol-specific port overrides, documents the new ssePort field, and revises the target resolution order for improved clarity and flexibility.

Configuration options and protocol-specific overrides:

• Added support for protocol-specific port overrides via a new protocol section in the test configuration, allowing users to specify custom ports for http, sse, and grpc protocols. This makes it easier to add new protocols in the future without code changes. (versioned_docs/version-4.0.0/running-keploy/configuration-file.md) [1] [2]
• Documented the new ssePort field, which allows users to set a custom port for SSE (Server-Sent Events) test cases. This field overrides the general HTTP port for SSE requests. (versioned_docs/version-4.0.0/running-keploy/configuration-file.md) [1] [2]

Replay target resolution and replaceWith enhancements:

• Updated and clarified the replay target resolution order to reflect the new protocol-specific override logic and to show the priority of each override step. (versioned_docs/version-4.0.0/running-keploy/configuration-file.md)
• Enhanced the replaceWith feature to support port-to-port mappings in addition to URL/gRPC authority replacements, and documented how these mappings are applied last as the highest-priority override. (versioned_docs/version-4.0.0/running-keploy/configuration-file.md) [1] [2]

Documentation improvements:

• Provided detailed YAML examples and clarified the documentation to make it easier for users to understand how to configure and prioritize host and port overrides for different protocols and test sets. (versioned_docs/version-4.0.0/running-keploy/configuration-file.md)

Code Review Summary

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

Incremental Review (since 3db12a5)

The incremental changes address both previous review comments:

1. ✅ Fixed: Removed the --sse-port CLI flag reference from ssePort documentation (line 238)
2. ✅ Fixed: Corrected the replay target resolution order - replaceWith rules (step 6) now correctly precede host replacement (step 7), with clear conditional language explaining when host is applied

The documentation is now internally consistent:

• Line 232 states host applies "only when no replaceWith rule matched"
• Step 7 clarifies this as "If no replaceWith.global.url or replaceWith.test-sets.<testSet>.url rule matches the recorded URL, and test.host is set..."
