feat: Add audit logging, magic bytes validation, per-user quotas, and admin API

New features in v3.3.0:
- audit.go: Security audit logging with JSON/text format, log rotation
- validation.go: Magic bytes content validation with wildcard patterns
- quota.go: Per-user storage quotas with Redis/memory tracking
- admin.go: Admin API for stats, file management, user quotas, bans

Integration:
- Updated main.go with feature initialization and handler integration
- Added audit logging for auth success/failure, uploads, downloads
- Added quota checking before upload, tracking after successful upload
- Added content validation with magic bytes detection

Config:
- New template: config-enhanced-features.toml with all new options
- Updated README.md with feature documentation

 ## Features
 
+### Core Features
 - XEP-0363 HTTP File Upload compliance
-- HMAC-based authentication
-- File deduplication
+- HMAC-based authentication with JWT support
+- File deduplication (SHA256 with hardlinks)
 - Multi-architecture support (AMD64, ARM64, ARM32v7)
 - Docker and Podman deployment
 - XMPP client compatibility (Dino, Gajim, Conversations, Monal, Converse.js)
-- Network resilience for mobile clients
+- Network resilience for mobile clients (WiFi/LTE switching)
+
+### Security Features (v3.3.0)
+- **Audit Logging** - Comprehensive security event logging (uploads, downloads, auth events)
+- **Magic Bytes Validation** - Content type verification using file signatures
+- **Per-User Quotas** - Storage limits per XMPP JID with Redis tracking
+- **Admin API** - Protected endpoints for system management and monitoring
+- **ClamAV Integration** - Antivirus scanning for uploaded files
+- **Rate Limiting** - Configurable request throttling

+## Enhanced Features (v3.3.0)
+
+### Audit Logging
+
+Security-focused logging for compliance and forensics:
+
+```toml
+[audit]
+enabled = true
+output = "file"
+path = "/var/log/hmac-audit.log"
+format = "json"
+events = ["upload", "download", "auth_failure", "quota_exceeded"]
+```
+
+### Content Validation
+
+Magic bytes validation to verify file types:
+
+```toml
+[validation]
+check_magic_bytes = true
+allowed_types = ["image/*", "video/*", "audio/*", "application/pdf"]
+blocked_types = ["application/x-executable", "application/x-shellscript"]
+```
+
+### Per-User Quotas
+
+Storage limits per XMPP JID with Redis tracking:
+
+```toml
+[quotas]
+enabled = true
+default = "100MB"
+tracking = "redis"
+
+[quotas.custom]
+"admin@example.com" = "10GB"
+"premium@example.com" = "1GB"
+```
+
+### Admin API
+
+Protected management endpoints:
+
+```toml
+[admin]
+enabled = true
+path_prefix = "/admin"
+
+[admin.auth]
+type = "bearer"
+token = "${ADMIN_TOKEN}"
+```
