uWSGI install docs don't lead to a working setup

[markkuleinio]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.0.0

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the install documentation https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/installation/4b-uwsgi/ to configure NetBox with uWSGI
2. Start netbox service

Expected Behavior

netbox service is started

Observed Behavior

May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab systemd[1]: Started netbox.service - NetBox WSGI Service.
May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab uwsgi[568130]: [uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /opt/netbox/uwsgi.ini
May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab uwsgi[568130]: *** Starting uWSGI 2.0.23 (64bit) on [Wed May  8 16:06:17 2024] ***
...
May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab uwsgi[568130]: current working directory: /opt/netbox
...
May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab uwsgi[568130]: *** no app loaded. GAME OVER ***
May 08 16:06:17 netbox-lab systemd[1]: netbox.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=22/n/a

= it cannot find /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/wsgi.py file.

Workaround: add these in uwsgi.ini:

chdir = netbox
wsgi-file = netbox/wsgi.py
# or, instead of wsgi-file:
module = netbox.wsgi:application

I'm willing to submit PR for that fix
