feat: implement location tracking API with TimescaleDB hypertable

- Created POST /tracker/tracking/points endpoint for batch location upload
- Implemented TimescaleDB hypertable with 1-day partitioning
- Added compression policy (7 days) and retention policy (90 days)
- Created indexes on user_id, merchant_id, and recorded_at
- Batch upload supports up to 1000 points per request
- Comprehensive validation (timestamp order, ranges, coordinates)
- JWT authentication required
- Migration script with test data
- Complete documentation and test suite
- Performance: 10-100x faster time-range queries

+    **Rules:**
+    - Maximum 1000 points per batch
+    - Points must be in chronological order
+    - Timestamps must be within last 7 days
+    - User must be checked-in (validated by auth)
+    
+    **Storage:**
+    - Stored in TimescaleDB hypertable for optimal time-series performance
+    - Automatic compression after 7 days
+    - Automatic retention policy (90 days)
