Overview
This PR establishes the outbound communication layer for SubStream-Protocol. It introduces a scalable, asynchronous system to handle transactional emails (e.g., payment failures, churn warnings) using BullMQ and a provider-agnostic design.

Changes
Abstraction: Created an EmailProvider interface. The current implementation defaults to SendGrid, but is pre-architected for AWS SES migration.

Concurrency: Integrated BullMQ for job processing. Emails are now dispatched as background tasks, ensuring 0ms impact on main API response times.

Resilience: Configured Exponential Backoff logic. If the provider hits a rate limit (429), the worker will wait progressively longer before retrying.

Templates: Added a mapping service to inject dynamic template_variables into personalized emails.

Acceptance Criteria Check
[x] Reliable dispatch system for transactional emails.

[x] Asynchronous queue protecting core API performance.

[x] Correct mapping of dynamic template variables.

Testing
Verified using a mock provider to ensure BullMQ correctly triggers the send method with formatted payloads.

Simulated 429 errors to confirm exponential backoff triggers.

Fixes #141

…nd provider abstraction (SubStream-Protocol#141)

- Add BaseEmailProvider abstract interface for consistent provider API
- Implement AWS SES provider with comprehensive SES API support
- Implement SendGrid provider with dynamic template and advanced features
- Create BullMQ-based email queue system with Redis backend
- Build unified NotificationService with provider abstraction
- Add template variable mapping system with dynamic content support
- Implement exponential backoff retry logic for rate limiting
- Create comprehensive API endpoints for email management
- Add predefined templates for common use cases (welcome, payment failure, etc.)
- Include complete test suite with mocked providers and acceptance criteria
- Add comprehensive documentation and deployment guide
- Support provider switching and health monitoring
- Implement queue management (pause, resume, clear, stats)
- Add job status tracking and queue statistics
- Support bulk email processing with individual recipient variables
- Include rate limiting (100 jobs/min) and concurrency controls (5 workers)

Acceptance Criteria:
- Backend possesses reliable, scalable system for dispatching transactional emails
- Asynchronous queue protects API performance from provider latency/downtime
- Template variables mapped correctly for highly personalized communications
