Property Metadata Validation with IPFS

This PR implements a comprehensive IPFS metadata validation system for property documents and metadata, addressing all requirements specified in issue #7.

Changes Implemented

Metadata Validation System

• Schema validation with comprehensive type checking
• Required field validation (location, size, legal_description, valuation)
• Data type enforcement with configurable validation rules
• Size limits for all metadata fields

IPFS Integration

• Document registration with IPFS CID tracking (CIDv0 and CIDv1 support)
• Content retrieval via get_document() and get_document_by_cid()
• Pin/unpin operations with size tracking and limits
• Graceful IPFS network failure handling with event logging

Security Features

• Cryptographic content hash verification for document integrity
• Malicious file detection and removal (admin-controlled)
• Role-based access control system (None/Read/Write/Admin)
• Encryption support flags for sensitive documents

Error Handling

• 14 distinct error types covering all failure scenarios
• Result-based returns (no panics in production code)
• Comprehensive event logging for audit trail
• Graceful degradation for network failures
