Subject: [PATCH] refactor: implement critical improvements (fixes #1-7)

Critical bug fixes:
- Fix memory leak in error handling (upstreams.zig)
- Fix thread safety violation by adding mutex to pollUpstreams()
- Optimize memory limits for SSZ responses (2MB for states, 64KB for other endpoints)

Architecture improvements:
- Add structured logging module with timestamps and log levels
- Extract polling logic to separate poller.zig module
- Improve /healthz endpoint to check consensus and upstream availability

The health endpoint now returns:
- 503 "no_upstreams" if no upstreams are responding
- 503 "no_consensus" if <50% upstreams agree
- 503 "stale" if data is older than threshold
- 200 "ok" only when healthy consensus exists

Structured logging provides timestamps, levels (DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR),
and thread-safe output for better observability.
