feat: Add comprehensive linting and formatting enforcement

[alepouna]

Closes #37

Description

• Add ESLint with Prettier integration (eslint-config-prettier)
• Add Prettier for code formatting enforcement
• Add markdownlint for documentation quality
• Add pre-commit hooks via husky and lint-staged
• Update CONTRIBUTING.md with code quality standards and available commands
• Add IDE configurations for VS Code and Zed editors
• Add npm scripts: lint, lint:fix, format, format:check, markdown:lint, markdown:fix, check:all

Requires Admin:

• Add GitHub Actions workflow for CI/CD enforcement (3 jobs: ESLint, Prettier, Markdown)

To fully enforce these standards, we need to enable branch protection rules, without them, contributors can still merge PRs even when checks fail:

1. Go to Settings > Branches > Add branch protection rule
2. Branch name pattern: "master"
3. Enable "Require status checks to pass before merging"
4. Enable "Require branches to be up to date before merging"
5. Select required status checks:
   • ESLint
   • Prettier Format Check
   • Markdown Lint
6. Save changes
