feat: Add comprehensive Corporate Actions API support (#67)

Implements Phase 1.1 of v3.0.0 development plan:

- Create corporate_actions.py module with full API coverage
- Add get_announcements() with date range and type filtering
- Add get_announcement_by_id() for specific announcements
- Support for dividends, splits, mergers, and spinoffs
- Create specialized model classes for each action type
- Add comprehensive unit tests (13 test cases)
- Add live integration tests with real API calls
- Update documentation with usage examples

Key features:
- Full type safety with dataclass models
- Proper date validation (90-day limit)
- Support for symbol and CUSIP filtering
- Date type filtering (declaration, ex-date, record, payable)
- Handles API response format (list or object)
- Documents actual pagination behavior (returns all results)

Tests:
- All unit tests passing (13/13)
- All integration tests passing (9/9)
- Covers error handling, validation, and real API calls
