Description

Feature description

When starting Kestra via the CLI, there's no log line telling the user where to open the UI. New users have to guess the URL or check the docs.

We already have what we need to print it: micronaut.server.host, the actual bound port from EmbeddedServer, and micronaut.server.context-path for reverse-proxied setups.

After the server is up, print one line:

Kestra is ready at http://localhost:8080

Apply to server standalone, server local, and webserver. Skip headless components.

Research direction
Locate the server startup code in the CLI module (likely in 'cli/src/main/java/io/kestra/cli/commands/'). Find where the EmbeddedServer is started and the port is bound. Use the micronaut.server.host and micronaut.server.context path configuration to construct the URL. Add a log line like 'Kestra is ready at http://localhost:8080' after the server is up, as described. Check existing logs for consistency.
