feat: Implement advanced streaming serialization formats (MessagePack, Avro, Protobuf)

- Add MessagePack serialization using rmp-serde for compact binary format
- Add Apache Avro serialization with schema registry support using apache-avro
- Add Protocol Buffers serialization with strong typing using prost
- Feature-gate all advanced formats under 'streaming' feature flag
- Provide graceful degradation with helpful error messages when feature disabled
- Include comprehensive schema definitions for JobLifecycleEvent

 ### Added
+- **📦 Advanced Streaming Serialization Formats**
+  - Implemented MessagePack serialization using `rmp-serde` for compact binary JSON-like format
+  - Implemented Apache Avro serialization using `apache-avro` with schema registry support
+  - Implemented Protocol Buffers serialization using `prost` for efficient binary format with strong typing
+  - All advanced serialization formats are feature-gated under the `streaming` feature flag
+  - Graceful degradation with helpful error messages when streaming feature is not enabled
+  - Comprehensive schema definitions for JobLifecycleEvent in both Avro and Protobuf formats
 - **📡 Kafka Streaming Integration**
   - Added real Apache Kafka integration with `kafka` feature flag using `rdkafka` crate
   - Implemented production-ready `KafkaProcessor` with real Kafka producer functionality
