feat: comprehensive metadata namespace architecture and cleanup system

BREAKING CHANGE: Remove hard delete option from deleteVerb() for consistent API

- Add complete metadata namespace architecture with O(1) soft delete performance
- Implement periodic cleanup system for old soft-deleted items
- Add restore methods for both nouns and verbs
- Require metadata contracts for all augmentations
- Eliminate namespace collisions with clean separation (_brainy, _augmentations, _audit)
- Optimize index performance using flattened dot-notation for O(1) lookups
- Add comprehensive augmentation safety system with type-safe access control
- Maintain full backward compatibility for existing data
- Add enterprise-grade cleanup with configurable age thresholds and batch processing
