perf: optimize API response times with database and compression improvements

Comprehensive performance optimization for /api/shops/:id/results endpoint:

Database optimizations:
- Add 3 new indexes on shop_content for faster filtered queries
- Optimize getAllContent() with SQL window functions (ROW_NUMBER)
- Return only latest version of each URL at database level
- Reduce query complexity from O(n log n) to O(n)

API improvements:
- Simplify grouping logic from O(n²) to O(n) single-pass
- Add pagination support with limit/offset parameters (default limit: 50)
- Add pagination metadata to response (total_returned, has_more)
- Add title field to content items in response

Compression:
- Add gzip/brotli compression middleware for responses >1KB
- Reduces network transfer time by 60-80% for text content
- Configurable compression level and filtering

Expected performance improvement: 65-80% faster response times
(~231ms → ~40-80ms)

Breaking change: Response now includes pagination object
