refactor: extract clustering system to cluster package

- Create cluster/merkle.go with Merkle tree operations - Create cluster/gossip.go with gossip protocol implementation - Create cluster/sync.go with data synchronization logic - Create cluster/bootstrap.go with cluster joining functionality Major clustering functionality now properly separated: * MerkleService: Tree building, hashing, filtering * GossipService: Member discovery, health checking, list merging * SyncService: Merkle-based synchronization between nodes * BootstrapService: Seed node joining and initial sync Build tested and verified working. Ready for main.go integration. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
