feat: create dedicated draft save endpoint with strict validation

✅ NEW BACKEND ENDPOINT: PUT /api/reviewtask/save-draft/:data_hash
  - Created SaveDraftDTO for clean payload validation
  - Dedicated endpoint only handles form data updates
  - No reCAPTCHA validation required for draft operations
  - Preserves machine state without triggering workflows
  - No history creation for draft saves (performance optimization)

✅ FRONTEND INTEGRATION:
  - New saveDraft() API function for the dedicated endpoint
  - Clean payload structure with only necessary draft data
  - Proper error handling with user feedback
  - Removes dependency on complex review task creation flow

✅ SECURITY & PERFORMANCE:
  - Strict separation between draft saves and review operations
  - Minimal payload reduces network overhead
  - No workflow state changes during draft operations
  - Prevents accidental review task modifications

This properly addresses the original request for a new, dedicated
draft save endpoint that bypasses the complex review task creation
logic and provides safer, more predictable draft functionality.
