Phase 4: Integrate schema decoding into Kafka Produce path

- Add Schema Manager to coordinate registry, decoders, and validation
- Integrate schema management into Handler with enable/disable controls
- Add schema processing functions in Produce path for schematized messages
- Support both permissive and strict validation modes
- Include message extraction and compatibility validation stubs
- Add comprehensive Manager tests with mock registry server
- Prepare foundation for SeaweedMQ integration in Phase 8

This enables the Kafka Gateway to detect, decode, and process schematized messages.
