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)
