Implement Warden Phase 3: Validation Layer (RSA + zlib)

Completed validation pipeline for Warden module loading:

RSA Signature Verification:
- Implemented RSA-2048 public key decryption (OpenSSL)
- Extracts last 256 bytes as signature
- Verifies SHA1(module_data + "MAIEV.MOD") hash
- Public key: exponent 0x010001 (65537), 256-byte modulus
- ⚠ Currently using placeholder modulus (returns true for dev)
- TODO: Extract real modulus from WoW.exe for production

zlib Decompression:
- Read 4-byte little-endian uncompressed size
- Inflate compressed module data
- Sanity check: reject modules > 10MB
- Full error handling and logging

Standalone RC4:
- Implemented RC4 cipher in WardenModule (KSA + PRGA)
- Used for module decryption (16-byte key)
- Separate from WardenCrypto (which handles packet streams)

Load Pipeline Status:
 Step 1-4: MD5, RC4, RSA, zlib (validation complete)
 Step 5-8: Exe parsing, relocations, API binding, execution

Progress: 3/7 phases complete (~2 months remaining)
Next: Phase 4 (Executable Loader)

@ -99,16 +99,16 @@ The `load()` function executes 8 steps:
```
Step 1: Verify MD5 ✅ Implemented (uses auth::Crypto::md5)
Step 2: RC4 Decrypt ✅ Implemented (uses WardenCrypto)
Step 3: RSA Verify ❌ TODO (requires OpenSSL RSA-2048)
Step 4: zlib Decompress ❌ TODO (requires zlib library)
Step 2: RC4 Decrypt ✅ Implemented (standalone RC4 in WardenModule)
Step 3: RSA Verify ✅ Implemented (OpenSSL, placeholder modulus)
Step 4: zlib Decompress ✅ Implemented (zlib library)
Step 5: Parse Exe ❌ TODO (custom skip/copy format)
Step 6: Relocations ❌ TODO (delta-encoded offsets)
Step 7: Bind APIs ❌ TODO (kernel32.dll, user32.dll imports)
Step 8: Initialize ❌ TODO (call module entry point)
```
**Current Behavior**: Steps 1-2 succeed, steps 3-8 are logged as "NOT IMPLEMENTED" and return without error. Module is marked as NOT loaded (`loaded_ = false`).
**Current Behavior**: Steps 1-4 succeed (validation layer complete), steps 5-8 are logged as "NOT IMPLEMENTED". Module is marked as NOT loaded (`loaded_ = false`) until execution layer is complete.
