feat: add SQLite storage layer with binary-first event persistence

Storage implementation:
- Concrete type with constructor (consumer-side interfaces)
- Event storage: protobuf + zstd-compressed canonical JSON
- Schema: events, deletions, replaceable_events, auth_challenges, rate_limits
- WAL mode, STRICT typing, optimized indexes
- Methods: StoreEvent, GetEvent, GetEventWithCanonical, DeleteEvent

Dependencies:
- modernc.org/sqlite v1.45.0 (pure Go SQLite driver)
- github.com/klauspost/compress v1.18.4 (zstd compression)
