[Issue] fix: use version-agnostic PHP-FPM socket path in nginx config example

This issue is automatically created based on existing pull request: #40678: fix: use version-agnostic PHP-FPM socket path in nginx config example

---

Description

Update the example PHP-FPM socket path in nginx.conf.sample to use a version-agnostic path instead of a hardcoded PHP 7.4 reference.

Problem

The example upstream configuration references php7.4-fpm.sock:

server   unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;

PHP 7.4 reached end-of-life in November 2022. Magento 2.4.7+ requires PHP 8.2 or 8.3. New users following this example will get a misleading path that doesn't match their PHP installation.

Solution

Change the socket path to the version-agnostic php-fpm.sock:

server   unix:/var/run/php/php-fpm.sock;

This is the default socket path on Debian/Ubuntu when only one PHP version is installed, and avoids needing to update the example every time the minimum PHP version changes.
