Add Rust Implementation of Bracket Application

[codegen-sh]

Rust Implementation of NCAA Tournament Bracket

This PR adds a high-performance Rust implementation of the Bracket application using modern Rust web development practices.

🦀 Key Features

• High-Performance API built with Axum framework and Sea-ORM
• Compile-time verified database queries with type safety
• JWT authentication with bcrypt password hashing
• Multi-database support (PostgreSQL, SQLite)
• Async/await throughout for high concurrency
• Zero-cost abstractions with Rust's performance guarantees
• Memory safety and prevention of entire classes of bugs at compile time
• Docker support with multi-stage builds for minimal image size

🚀 Performance Benefits

• Near C/C++ performance with memory safety
• Zero-cost abstractions - no runtime overhead for safety features
• Excellent concurrency with async/await
• Small binary size with optimized release builds
• Predictable performance without garbage collection

🔒 Security & Safety

• Memory safety by design - prevents buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences
• Compile-time error prevention - catches bugs before runtime
• Type-safe database queries with Sea-ORM
• Secure JWT implementation with proper validation

📦 Quick Start

# Using Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

# Or manual setup
cargo run

🧪 API Compatibility

Maintains full API compatibility with the original Perl implementation:

• All authentication endpoints
• Tournament bracket management
• Player pick functionality
• Admin game result updates
• Leaderboard calculations

🛠️ Development Experience

• Excellent tooling with cargo
• Built-in testing framework
• Documentation generation with rustdoc
• Package management with crates.io
• IDE support with rust-analyzer

This implementation demonstrates Rust's capabilities for building production-ready web APIs with maximum performance and safety guarantees.
