refactor: Migrate from monolithic to modular architecture

- Restructure project into domain-specific modules (core, masterdata, members, horses, events, infrastructure)
- Create shared client components in common-ui module
- Implement CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions
- Consolidate documentation in docs directory
- Remove deprecated modules and documentation files
- Add cleanup and migration scripts for transition
- Update README with new project structure and setup instructions
