api.lux.network answers from the node that holds the real chain

Both lux-api rules now send to luxd-rpc, the Service that selects the sync
node, and not to lux-chain, whose hand-made EndpointSlice named the five docker
validators on evo. Those five were a fork of mainnet -- same genesis, a
different block 1, real transactions on both sides -- and they are stopped.
Serving a partially imported real chain beats serving a complete wrong one.

bc-path rewrites /v1/chain/c/... to /v1/bc/C/... because the sync node is on
luxd v1.36.148, which serves the EVM at the old path, while every caller of
api.lux.network speaks the /v1/chain path that v1.36.181 serves. It is the one
thing to delete when the node moves to .181.

Recorded here and applied live by hand: lux-mainnet-luxd has never been synced,
and syncing it now would stand a second luxd beside the hand-applied sync
StatefulSet. When that app is adopted, it carries this route.
