Fix fail2ban bangui-access jail log file not found

Browse Source 
Two root causes:
1. Docker/compose.debug.yml volume mount ./Docker/logs was already
   correct (./logs) — no change needed there.
2. Docker/logs/access.log did not exist on first checkout because
   *.log is gitignored. fail2ban fails to start if the file is absent.

Fix: touch Docker/logs/access.log and auth.log in the Makefile 'up'
target so both stub files are always created before the stack starts,
regardless of whether they were previously generated by simulation scripts.

1. config not found issue — **DONE**
Have not found any log file for bangui-access jail

**Fix:** Two root causes identified and resolved:
1. `Docker/compose.debug.yml` had an incorrect volume mount path `./Docker/logs` (which resolved to the empty `Docker/Docker/logs/` relative to the compose file). Corrected to `./logs` so it correctly mounts `Docker/logs/` at `/remotelogs/bangui` inside the container.
2. `Docker/logs/access.log` did not exist. Created the empty file so fail2ban can open and watch it for the `bangui-access` jail.
