Closes #215
This PR implements a comprehensive Anti-Cheat & Integrity System to maintain fair play in GrindMap's leaderboards and tournaments. The system uses statistical analysis and pattern recognition to automatically detect suspicious behavior, apply graduated penalties, and provide a transparent appeal process for users.

✨ Features Implemented

  1. CheatReport Model
    Complete violation tracking with 8 report types
    Evidence storage (JSON) with detection metadata
    5 status types: investigating, dismissed, warned, shadow_banned, banned, appealed
    Expiration tracking for temporary bans
    Appeal system integration

  2. Detection Algorithms (4 sophisticated checks)
    ✅ Velocity Anomaly: Flags impossibly fast problem solving
    Easy: min 30s, Medium: min 60s, Hard: min 180s
    ✅ Platform Switching: Detects impossible context switches
    Max 3 platforms/minute, min 15s between switches
    ✅ Difficulty Pattern: Identifies suspicious patterns
    Hard→Easy→Hard alternation, rapid hard problems
    ✅ Activity Spike: Catches unusual submission bursts
    Max 30/hour, 200/day

- Add CheatReport model with violation tracking and appeal system
- Implement IntegrityService with 4 detection algorithms:
  * Velocity anomaly detection (problem solving speed)
  * Platform switching detection (impossible context switches)
  * Difficulty pattern analysis (suspicious patterns)
  * Activity spike detection (unusual submission bursts)
- Add shadow banning system:
  * Users excluded from leaderboards and tournaments
  * Auto-expires after configurable time period
  * Transparent user messaging
- Implement 10 REST API endpoints:
  * User: view reports, submit appeals
  * Admin: manage reports, analyze users, review appeals, statistics
- Add background processing:
  * Automated checks every 15 minutes
  * Daily cleanup of expired reports
  * Non-blocking job queue integration
- Integrate with existing features:
  * Leaderboards filter shadow banned users
  * Tournaments block banned users from joining
  * Tournament leaderboards exclude banned participants
- Add restrictTo middleware for role-based access control
- Include comprehensive test script
