chore: remove Husky and lint-staged dependencies

Removed:
- Husky package from devDependencies
- lint-staged package from devDependencies
- "prepare": "husky" script from package.json
- lint-staged configuration from package.json
- .husky directory with pre-commit hooks
- Git hooks setup from dev-setup.sh script

Updated README:
- Removed Husky references from Code Quality section
- Removed Husky and lint-staged from Development Tools
- Removed "Set up git hooks" from automated setup script description
- Removed .husky/ directory from project structure
- Removed Pre-commit Hooks section
- Simplified Testing & Quality section

Rationale:
- Simplified development workflow
- Removed git hook automation complexity
- Developers can still manually run lint and format commands
- CI/CD pipeline still enforces code quality
- Reduced dependencies by 26 packages

Manual code quality commands still available:
- npm run lint
- npm run lint:fix
- npm run format
- npm run type-check
