Refactor IdentifiedObjectEntity to use UUID primary key for ESPI compliance

- Changed primary key from Long to UUID for better ESPI standard compliance
- Removed redundant uuid, uuidMostSignificantBits, uuidLeastSignificantBits fields
- Removed getMRID() method (not needed in ESPI 4.0)
- Simplified lifecycle management using Spring Boot automation
- Added field-level URL validation to LinkType.href using @pattern for absolute URLs
- Created comprehensive database migrations for both PostgreSQL and MySQL
- Added BaseMapperUtils interface to consolidate common mapping functions
- Fixed initial mapper conflicts and ambiguous method issues

The UUID architecture provides deterministic, globally unique resource identification
based on href rel="self" values using UUID5 generation, exceeding the NAESB ESPI
48-bit minimum identifier requirement.
