Remove backup creation logic from SaveConfig function and update related documentation. Adjust WebUIServer response structure and translations to reflect the absence of backup path information.

 All file operations now use validated paths:
 
 - **Config File Reading/Writing**: All `os.ReadFile()` and `os.WriteFile()` operations use validated paths
-- **Backup File Creation**: Backup paths are also validated to prevent attacks
 - **Directory Creation**: Directory paths are cleaned before `os.MkdirAll()` operations
 - **Private Key Loading**: Private key file paths are validated in `postprocessConfig()`
