Allow relative volume paths for k8s-kind deployments
Lint Checks / Run linter (push) Successful in 13s

For k8s-kind, relative paths (e.g., ./data/rpc-config) are resolved to
$DEPLOYMENT_DIR/path by _make_absolute_host_path() during kind config
generation. This provides Docker Host persistence that survives cluster
restarts.

Previously, validation threw an exception before paths could be resolved,
making it impossible to use relative paths for persistent storage.

Changes:
- deployment_create.py: Skip relative path check for k8s-kind
- cluster_info.py: Allow relative paths to reach PV generation
- docs/deployment_patterns.md: Document volume persistence patterns
