feat: add distributed scaling and enterprise features for v3

- Implement distributed coordination with Raft consensus for leader election
- Add horizontal sharding with consistent hashing for data distribution
- Implement read/write separation for scalable primary-replica architecture
- Add cross-instance cache synchronization with version vectors
- Implement intelligent type mapper to prevent semantic degradation
- Add rate limiting augmentation with configurable per-operation limits
- Add comprehensive audit logging for compliance and debugging
- Support for strong and eventual consistency models
- Automatic failover and replication lag monitoring

These features enable true enterprise-scale deployment across multiple nodes
