docs: surface Nous Portal on pages where it solves a real problem the page describes (#30874)

Follow-up to #30869. Adds Portal mentions on user-facing pages that
naturally call for an LLM + tool credentials but didn't previously
acknowledge Portal as a one-stop option.

- getting-started/installation.md: tip after the 'after install' block
  pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' for users who want everything wired
  at once instead of piecewise via 'hermes model' + 'hermes tools'.
- user-guide/configuring-models.md: small tip near the top — the page is
  literally about provider/model choice and previously had zero Portal
  mention.
- user-guide/features/voice-mode.md: Prerequisites need both an LLM and
  TTS — a Portal subscription is the single setup that covers both.
- user-guide/features/batch-processing.md: highlights Portal as a
  predictable-cost option for parallel agent runs that hit many APIs.
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: backend needs models + tools; one
  Portal sub gives a fully-equipped OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- user-guide/windows-native.md: early-beta users on Windows benefit most
  from skipping per-tool Windows-key-juggling.
- integrations/providers.md: updates the existing Tool Gateway tip and
  the Nous Portal section to mention the new commands.
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: Nous row in the provider
  table now lists 'hermes setup --portal' as the fresh-install path.

Tone discipline: one Portal mention per page, concrete CLI commands
(no marketing copy), always solving a problem the page itself sets up.

Your agent handles requests with its full toolset (terminal, file operations, web search, memory, skills) and returns the final response. When streaming, tool progress indicators appear inline so frontends can show what the agent is doing.
:::tip One backend covers models + tools
Hermes itself needs a configured provider and tool backends for the API server to be useful. A [Nous Portal](/docs/user-guide/features/tool-gateway) subscription handles both — 300+ models plus web/image/TTS/browser via the Tool Gateway. Run `hermes setup --portal` once before starting the API server and frontends like Open WebUI or LobeChat get a fully tool-equipped backend.
