feat(crdt): add Automerge document lifecycle management

Implement document-manager.ts with core CRDT operations:
- Document creation, update, merge, save/load functions
- Conversion functions between local entities and CRDT documents
- Actor ID management for client identification
- Conflict detection utilities

Completes Phase 1 of CRDT implementation.
