refactor: Consolidate KMS fallback implementations with shared utilities

- Added generate_deterministic_key() and generate_deterministic_key_with_size() utility functions
- Consolidated 8 duplicate fallback implementations across engine.rs and key_manager.rs
- Refactored AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP KMS, and HashiCorp Vault fallback logic
- Eliminated ~150 lines of duplicate SHA-256 key generation code
- Improved maintainability and consistency across all KMS provider fallback scenarios
- Enhanced code reusability with public utility functions for deterministic key generation
- Added comprehensive documentation with examples for all KMS provider fallback scenarios
- Fixed documentation warnings for Vec<u8> return types
- All KMS fallback implementations now use consistent, shared logic

Benefits:
- Reduced code duplication and maintenance overhead
- Consistent behavior across all KMS providers
- Easier to test and debug fallback scenarios
- Public utilities available for external applications
- Better error handling and logging consistency

+/// Deterministic key generation utility for KMS fallback scenarios
+///
+/// This utility generates consistent keys for development, testing, and fallback scenarios
+/// when external KMS services are unavailable. It uses SHA-256 hashing to create
+/// deterministic keys based on the service type and configuration parameters.
+///
+/// # Arguments
+///
+/// * `service_prefix` - Service-specific prefix (e.g., "aws-kms-data-key", "azure-kv-master-key")
+/// * `inputs` - Variable number of string inputs that will be hashed together
+///
+/// # Returns
+///
+/// A `Vec<u8>` containing the generated key material (32 bytes for SHA-256)
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #[cfg(feature = "encryption")]
+/// # {
+/// use hammerwork::encryption::generate_deterministic_key;
+///
+/// // Generate a deterministic key for AWS KMS fallback
+/// let key = generate_deterministic_key("aws-kms-data-key", &["my-key-id", "us-east-1"]);
+/// assert_eq!(key.len(), 32); // SHA-256 produces 32 bytes
+///
+/// // Generate a deterministic key for Azure Key Vault fallback
+/// let key = generate_deterministic_key("azure-kv-master-key", &["vault-url", "key-name"]);
